PureKleen 14 Report post Posted March 4, 2006 I have 3 singlewide mobile homes to clean next week. 2 of which are aluminum siding. This is my first time cleaning aluminum siding. Any special precautions need to take? Hot water ok or use cold? And what pressure would be best? Thanks Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 big mike 14 Report post Posted March 5, 2006 Easy on the pressure and light on chemical strength. Aluminum is real sensitive to both, and its easy to remove the paint. If it's really chalky, be extra careful. Good learning experience though. Just go easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 PureKleen 14 Report post Posted March 5, 2006 Ok, thanks for the reply. Chlorine ok to use if lots of algae? Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 PressurePros 248 Report post Posted March 5, 2006 Lots of algae = lots of oxidized paint. You could two step it by using an acid followed by a more caustic housewash with bleach. Be sure to rinse slowly and evenly holding your wand the same distance from the surface at all times. I wouldn't go over 600 psi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 PureKleen 14 Report post Posted March 5, 2006 I have never 2-stepped so that is not an option. Not sure what soap solution to use. Understood on the rinse and pressure. Thanks Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
