20 Best House Wash For Wood Siding (2023 Updated)

This works really good it was able to clean years worth of dirt off the siding. The other review is wrong, they did not follow the directions, it clearly says on the bottle to apply to dry siding, no need to rinse the siding.

You spray on let work for 5 to 10 minutes and power spray off with a power washer. Only issue I have is it seems to go so fast, maybe the pressure washer but otherwise cleans well.

Smelled like soap tried mixed then 1/2 mixed the straight. Product did nothing save your money just power wash same result.

I use a left over hose bottle attachment that I fill with krud kutter. Turn the hose on and turn the bottle sprayer so it shoots Krud kutter And water on the siding and then wait 5 minutes then rinse off.

It’s that easy. Cuts the mold and dirt and then just hose it away.

I’m very impressed with this product. It works simply and effectively. Without any scrubbing, it blasted away mold, mildew, and algae stains with a powerful spray nozzle already attached to the jug. No ladder was needed as the spray was strong enough to ready my gutters.

I used it on my brick fascia and my concrete driveway and walkways. I love there was no mixing needed. It was ready to use right away. It works fast. In fact, i could see the clean in minutes. The power is apparantly in the product and not so much in the strength (or pressure) of the water.

This is good because I don’t really have high water pressure at my home. The instructions were clear, and the steps were easy to follow. After you spray surrounding vegatation with water for protection, you spray your house or whatever you;’re cleaning and only wait ten minutes to rinse the product off.

It’s not foamy but does have a strong bleach smell. I love that you get good coverage area for product you use. I’ve learned to not use it in direct sunlight and don’t wear nice clothes or get it on your skin and you’ll be just as pleased with it as I was.

We just bought a brick house and need to clean the brick. We got this to try if the weather ever cooperates. It’s been cold and windy which are two things that aren’t a good idea with trying to clean.

I have read to make sure to wear eye protection when using this. This product BLEACH in it so be aware of that also and don’t wear anything that could be ruined. We tried a small test on our concrete driveway and it seems to work.

I also read that you might need multiple applications and with our house that will probably be the case. I think overall this product does what it needs to after we tested a small part. We will see how the rest of the house is once we really use this.

I would recommend this.

Bought this because I had a little trouble getting the mold off the north side of my house with a small power washer. Sprayed it on with the hose connector, waited 10 minutes, rinsed and BOOM all gone.

Did the entire house without the power washer. The spray reached the peaks and my house is beautiful. I did rinse the plants before and after with no issues. Then I tackled my neighbors north wall (which I see when relaxing on my porch).

The wall was black with mold because the landlord hadn’t done anything for years. I sprayed while on a ladder over my fence, waited 10 minutes and rinsed it off. I now see a yellow clean house! Remarkable product that I have purchased more of.

One bottle cleaned my house and a 1/4 of one for the neighbors wall. I usually power wash every two years but will use this product yearly. So easy and with only the hose. Would definitely recommend this product!!.

Scotts® Outdoor Cleaner House & Siding with ZeroScrub™ Technology Was something we got to help us remove moss from certain areas of our home before the settling winter. I must say we did get this in the middle of fall weather where it rains in the northwest.

You essentially need a dry day and surface for this to take effect. We finally found a good two or three days of dry weather and sun so we applied it to remove moss on our cement patio and our siding.

The solution was easy to apply either with the help of the hose or pressure washer as it’s easy to connect. We made sure to remove all patio furniture and follow directions. One things that make me nervous about using this continuously are all the cautions for touching this solution, unrepairable eye damage if put in contact with it, and making sure to not leave the solution soaking in the grass.

It seems like there are many cautions that a mistake may be bound to happen when using this over time. The results were great and it did remove moss from our patio with just a one time spray and saved us time.

The siding area we did under our window worked well too. It was very easy to apply and we noticed a huge difference in our siding in comparison to other areas. I’m we are happy with the results, but the cautions seem like many I would not want to be encounter; thus, it is important to wear eyes protection and gloves.

I think some rebound spray would be hard to avoid in you choose to spray this high on a two story home from the floor along the sides where there is only 5 feet distance from the gate. I would not use this solution if there is a chance that rebound spray would hit my skin/eyes.

Make sure you can stand far away to avoid that. For future cleaning, we may only use this sparingly in tough moss covered areas where we can get clearance from any solution spray. Overall, we were happy with the final results.

I used this bottle with caution as first to test it out on some plastic lawn chairs. They cleaned op nicely so I knew it was safe on other plastic related siding and decking. I ended up using the bottle it its entirety on my TREX decking which is about 2200 square feet.

I sprayed the whole bottle with hose attached onto the deck let it sit on a cloudy day in early winter, then brushed it all around with a simple push broom and sprayed it off with the hose after that.

Good as new, removed all green algae and slime from shaded areas and bird droppings and it smelt pretty good, would use again without hesitation !.

I picked up this product in October, right before the rainy season started here in the PNW. I tried it on a few things; an aggregate concrete pad, wooden privacy fence and an old grill cover (I figured what the heck? The cover is old anyways.

) The product worked well on all three things – perhaps best on the fence and grill cover seeing that the product could be evenly sprayed on a surface that allowed the spray to run off. The concrete pad pools water, so it was difficult to apply – not the fault of the product.

After everything dried it was pretty clear that the product had worked. I will definitely be using it again once Summer gets here after the warm and wet winter we’ve had. My only ‘issue’ with the product is that it requires a hose to apply – and my hose coverage is limited on the sides of my house.

There are areas where I would need a different strategy /product to clean up the siding/gutters.

People are not using this product correctly. To remove mold stains use bleach or high strength peroxide. After the stain is gone, use mold control in the same area to prevent mold returning. Bleach does not kill the roots of mold, but it does remove the discoloration.

The mold control product has successfully kept mold at bay in my house. Only failures I have had are with fabrics, Insulation around air ducts.

I paired this with Mold Armor and it obliterated the mold I had on the studs in my bathroom. I emptied the bottles on all of it approx 5’x8′ space. Made sure to apply at least 2 coats(3 on the heavy stuff).

I scraped the mold off with a paint scraper and steel wool. Wiped off with blue shop towels, dried, and then sprayed again. 24 hours later the wood is mold free and I can start painting it over with Kilz.

I brought this to combat some of the mildew and mold starting to pop up in the caulking of my shower. it worked okay. it tackled the service mode but didn’t really penetrate or stop it from coming back.

I could have bought a bottle of bleach for a third of the price that would have lasted 10 times as long and done exactly the same thing. I would not buy this again, I would just buy bleach or peroxide or literally anything that’s not $10 a bottle.

Bought this spray bottle and the 1 gallon refill next to it on the shelf to do a number of cleaning tasks outside. Cleaner works well. Nice that it’s bleach-free and can spray safely around plants & grass.

BUT, discovered that the spray bottle CANNOT be opened and refilled. The spray product runs out pretty quickly when cleaning large areas. I bought a 1 gallon refill but have no way to spray it. Why sell a big refill when the sprayer doesn’t open?!? Could use improvement in this regard.

If you need to do a lot of cleaning, you’ll need to but many multiple spray bottles.

Very happy with Scotts Outdoor Cleaner. It’s spring clean-up time in New England. I used this product on my mesh pool chairs, and in my deck. It did an AMAZING job on the chairs. After all of last summer by the pool, and spending the winter stored in the garage, they were covered in dirt and mildew.

I mixed the concentrate in a Scotts Multi-Use Sprayer, lightly sprayed the chairs, gave a quick brushing, and hosed them off. They came out looking like brand new! My deck is made of Ipe hardwood, and normally requires serious power washing, like a concrete patio.

I wanted to test this product out, so I figured I’d give it a shot on the decking. I mixed it at a 1:1 ratio, sprayed it on the decking, brushed it in good, then hosed it off. It didn’t come out as good as it does with the power washer, but I was amazed at how much dirt, mildew and algae it did remove! I wound up power washing the deck anyway, because it’s pretty necessary with the Ipe.

But I think this product would be fantastic for a normal soft wood deck, like pine, cedar or redwood. I’ll definitely be buying this product again!.

I would have given the product and bottle five stars if the bottle was refillable. This product is great at cleaning a variety of outdoors surfaces. We’ve used it on patio furniture, patio cushions, wooden portions of screened porch, and vinyl floor of an outdoor deck all with great success.

The design of the bottle makes it so easy to switch between applying the product and rinsing the item being washed. However, it is really important to know that the bottle is NOT refillable. That means that you either need to purchase a new bottle once you run out or you need to hang onto the old style bottle which is refillable.

We go through quite a bit of this product each spring so like to buy the large refill. That’s more economical and environmentally sound. Not possible with this non-refillable bottle. What a disappointment.

I received a gallon of Mold Armor E-Z Deck, Fence & Patio Wash and was excited to get to work on my deck that’s been ignored for several years. Unfortunately it’s been a rainy season here and I wanted to apply this product, and then hopefully have some sunny days to dry the deck good and apply paint all within a few days.

Well the weather finally happened and I was amazed at how well this product cleaned my deck and steps. I used my backpack sprayer to apply the product. Since the deck and steps were soooo badly molded and mildewed (I have a large maple tree covering most of my deck) I applied at full strength and waited for about 10 minutes which the directions recommended and it worked extremely quickly at removing the buildup.

After I sprayed it I used a water hose to remove the product and to wash away any of the product from my plants. IT WORKS GREAT! The only downside I could see was that I needed to buy another gallon but that’s because I have a large deck and 13 steps with handrails.

I have already recommended it to family members!.

I used this today on white porch railings, 3 rocking chairs and vinyl siding on the front of my house. I was amazed at how little product it took to cover the area using a manual pump sprayer. It was really easy to use, and cleaned up beautifully.

My rocking chairs look new. It has a rather strong chlorine odor, but it was like being at the pool – not the laundry room! I’ll definitely use this product again. I normally use a pressure washer, but this was quicker and easier.

Product works great. I needed to clean my deck before re- staining. This wash cleaned my deck boards of old dirt as well as killed and removed mold and algae growth and stains. Price point unbeatable compared to other name brands.

I have since gone back and purchased more to clean more areas of my property.

My father in laws house has light brown siding and every single spring we have to get buckets and sponges and soap and scrub his siding down because it gets that nasty mold and mildew on it. My husband found this mold armour EZ house wash and it works So great! It’s so easy to use.

No more buckets and scrubbing! You simply hook the bottle up to a garden hose and start at the bottom of the siding spray and coat the siding all the way to the top. Wait 10 minutes and rinse. A few of the thicker mold/mildew we had to do again but it’s so simple and easy.

This stuff worked great. I tried another brand a month ago and it barely did anything. Jomax did an amazing job. I followed directions carefully, measured and applied carefully. 15 minutes later my severely discolored vinyl was sparkling clean.

highly recommended. 5 stars.

My house had plenty of dirt and mildew built up on the vinyl siding. I’ve used other products that had great promises – they didn’t live up. Jomax actually lived up to it’s promise. Worked like a charm.

I’m guessing the only way someone would be disappointed is if they did not follow the directions. Mixed it as directed and sprayed it on with a good garden sprayer – wet it good. I watched the dirt and mildew disappear even before I pressure washed it.

AWESOME!! Best stuff ever!.

I trimmed the bushes this Spring to discover just how dirty and moldy my house was. I don’t have a power-washer, so started investigating something I could use without the use of a hose. I bought this, and a spray bottle, but before I even started, thought how much easier a mop might be to really saturate and reach the taller areas.

It worked perfectly! I just mopped over the stuff, and even though I didn’t think I got it all, stopped. This morning when I walked outside, I couldn’t believe it. My house is an old house, old white, porous-type siding.

This morning, it actually looked whiter than it ever has since I’ve moved in 12 years ago! And those areas I thought I missed, well when it says just apply and leave, they weren’t kidding! All gone – the house never looked better.

Have used this for years now, very good product. Saves a LOT of money compared to hiring a pressure washing company, and really saves home, gutters, eves, etc. by not submitting them to high pressure washing, yet, the results are just as satisfactory.

This is a VERY easy product to use. Attach to a hose, takes less than 30 minutes start to finish for my one story Florida home. There can be micro “fly back” if you do this on a windy day, so always wear an old shirt or it might get a finely “speckled” look.

I always wait for a very calm day, but it could happen. Another tip, if you do this every 6 mos. , say fall and spring, it does an excellent, professional job. If you are purchasing it to clean a home that has been neglected for years, you will probably have to do a second application, especially in the south where heavy mold collects on lanai’s, birdcage pool enclosures, etc.

I have never had even the slightest damage to flowers, shrubs or lawn as a result of using this product.

Disappointed. did not work for me. very poor results. actually no results, no improvement Hose connection also leaked, spray barely reached the peak of single story. maybe 15 ft The instructions do indicate if it does not work use fully strength with a garden sprayer but then the solution will treat probably under 100 sq ft rather than the stated 5000 sq ft.

You are better off making your own solution using household bleach, some dish soap and water. in a garden sprayer Going to try returning it back to Walmart.

It. Is. EXCELLENT. It does what is says. I am amazed. The siding it was used on had mold an other stains and they are gone, after using it once. I may have not been as sparing in its use , i. e. reducing the area covered, however it works.

So much more gently than a power washer (which frightens me). Just a great product and I am off to buy some more. I bought one 64oz to test.

Works, my house was a mess, used full strength in industrial spray bottle, applied generously. Wore goggles, junky clothes, cover skin. Reeks of bleach. Let sit to do it’s thing for awhile, no scrubbing.

Rinsed lightly after about 90 minutes. Did a fantastic job. If I use it again will wear a filtering mask, really strong bleach smell.

You don’t ever really think to take care of the outside of your home as much as the interior. Maintaining a beautiful home includes all aspects of your home. I know the thought of cleaning the exterior sounds tedious, but I’m here to tell you with the new Home Armor E-Z House Wash it’s the exact opposite.

Home Armor E-Z House Wash it hands down the best product I’ve ever used to clean the exterior of my home. The name says it all its, so easy to use nearly effortless and leaves your home looking brand new.

Literally takes ten years off of it after using it. I highly recommend Home Armor to anyone wanting to bring life back to their home with little to no effort.

This concentrated formula worked like magic on our outside trailer siding. I am blown away at how well it cleaned it. This stuff works so well. A little goes a long way. I highly recommend this stuff!

This product works well with our HF 3100 PSI pressure washer. Dilute the right amount for the job. Also works full strength, but for most tasks, Mean Green can be diluted as specified.

i’ve been using this product for a few years now. i’m happy with the results, so i’ve not tried any other brands. for mildew, i do spray a diluted bleach mix on the specific areas. the cost is reasonable.

the odor is virtually non-existent (very important to me). VALUE: before i buy i always research price. this is a good value. QUALITY: as i’ve said, i haven’t used any other brand, so i have nothing to compare it to.

but, as they say: “if it works, don’t fix it”.

As a a residential pressure washing exterior home cleaning business we depend on getting good results on the products we use. Zep Pressure washing is a great product. Durham Power Wash.

The answer to spotless vinyl siding…..none better!

I love this cleaner. It has take green mold off my deck and north facing vinyl siding with no scrubbing. Read the directions and adjust the strength of your solution and I found giving it 10 minutes sitting on the area being cleaned improved first time cleaning success.

Don’t let the solution dry on the surface that only makes it harder to clean. I found cleaning on a cloudy day helped as well. I have used in my power washer and now have bought the prepackaged hose sprayer for higher on my house.

Make sure you wear protective eye glasses! It improved the look of my plastic adirondack chairs but they are old and have dried tree sap- it did take off the mold. Very pleased!.

Spring is just around the corner and I cannot wait to start cleaning up my patio area for all the BBQ’s this coming year! I have a concrete slab, very big, and it tends to turn dark and spotty throughout the year with rain, snow, ice, dirt and whatever.

I tried this on a small section just to see what I will be able to do in a few weeks to clean it off and it looks fantastic! I can’t wait to clean up everything around the yard including the exterior areas with the white vinyl siding on it.

Most of the exterior is brick and looks great but the siding is grimy and dirty. Can’t wait to get it done! This product is strong, efficient and actually WORKS!!! LOVING IT! Highly recommend to use!!.

This product worked well. However, I think you need to pass onto the company who manufactures this that it would be beneficial if they made the containers of the Concentrate and Ready to Spray look different not just have it written on the container.

E. g. Different colours used. I thought I had ordered the Ready to spray and started using it as such, but realised after awhile it was behaving differently to one I had used previously. It turns out I had ordered the concentrate but only discovered that after looking closely at the container.

Spray and walkaway uses green on that container. I think for safety reasons differentiation should be used on the other two containers.

I’d intended to use Scotts Outdoor Cleaner House & Siding to clean siding, but I put off doing it, and now the winter rains are here. So while I wait for drier weather, I’ve started cleaning the dry parts of the covered cement patio in the back yard instead.

It’s a DIY job done by a previous owner, with lots of uneven spots where blown rain and dirt, and moss have collected and worked down into the cement. So far it’s going well! I’ve only been able to tackle one end of the patio because there’s still a lot of windblown detritus to clear away before the entire thing can be cleaned.

But just using my hose and the Scotts Outdoor Cleaner as directed quickly removed most of the old grime. There appear to be some dark ground-in dirt spots that will need a second cleaning when I’m done with the first pass, but it’s possible they’re really stains, not dirt.

So overall I’m very happy with both the results and with how easy it is to use!.

I bought Mold Armor when I bought a brand new $400 power washer. I chose Mold Armor because it claimed to be safe to use – non-corrosive for power washers. I used the power washer with Mold Armor 1 day, then stored my power washer.

A few weeks later I noticed white debris on the floor under my power washer and found that the Mold Armor in the detergent reservoir had caused extensive corrosion to my power washer’s pressure plate.

The corrosion ate into the metal of the plate so deep that it causes the machine to leak with a very powerful stream spraying out from under the machine. It cost me $200 to repair. I contacted the makers of Mold Armor because their bottle claims that they warrantee their product, and I reported the corrosion.

They referred me to a law firm that handles all their product damage claims, and that law firm has been dragging this along for 5 months, and now doesn’t return calls or emails asking about the status of getting my warrantee claim paid.

This product is NOT SAFE for power washers! The claims on the bottle about being safe and offering warranty coverage are completely false. I’m surprised that responsible retailers still carry this product, especially hardware retailers that sell high quality power washers that are at risk if Mold Armor is used.

i was so happy to receive MOLD ARMOR E Z MULTI PURPOSE WASHER CONCENTRATE. I was getting not only my fall cleaning but, I was also putting my house on the market. I have many trees around the house and some areas are in the shade which causes that green mold so to give the house that curbside appeal I ordered the 1 gallon size of MOLD ARMOR E Z MULTI PURPOSE CONCENTRATE.

The box arrived pretty quick considering how the mail has slowed because so many people are staying home and ordering from home caused by the pandemic. I have a pressure washer, read the directions about how to use the Mold armor E Z multi purpose concentrate and I was good to go.

I could not believe the dirt and mildew that all but poured off the house. My dull gray house was clean again, some areas I did need to go over twice because of the green mildew. I also have a pvc outdoor deck set that needed freshening and since the concentrate made so muchI had enough to also do the outdoor deck set.

The set is very old and has baked in stains on the pvc. My set looks so good I will get one more season out of it. that makes me happy.

I have a barn far back on my property that is in the woods practically. It is all sided and the whole front is a greenhouse. The back side is all in the woods and shady area. So there is a lot of dampness and mold/ mossy likeness on the back of my barn.

Not a place you think to go and clean frequently. Being in the middle of a pandemic and not having much to do or places to go outside the house you really start to notice and clean things. Guess what got cleaned? The barn.

Mold Armor E-Z Multi-Purpose Pressure Washer Concentrate added to the pressure washer was so easy to use and make my barn look so nice. It clean all the siding, the gutters that I really thought need to be replace since they looked completely rotted( they weren’t rotten just disgustingly dirty with mold).

The stone walkway is all clean. This stuff is amazing and gives results. My father in-law uses my barn as his woodworking shop and he actually thought I had it professionally clean. Even he was impressed with this product.

Living in Alabama, I have noticed that our deck and porches often get moldy and then slippery, so I have been looking for a simple solution to resolve the issue for quite some time. I was super excited to try Mold Armor E-Z Deck Wash for Wood Surfaces, Composite Deck & Fence and I am so happy that I did.

The application of this product is super easy, simply apply to the surface you want cleaning, wait 10 mins and then rinse away. Once rinsed off my deck looked amazingly clean and the best thing about it was; no scrubbing was needed! I think this would be the perfect product to use before staining wood, especially older wood, to ensure that you are not sealing in any mold or dirt.

This is a fantastic product and I thoroughly recommend it to others/.

Recently purchased a home in an area of the south that is known to stay humid the majority of the year. Our deck is located towards the front of the house and is composed untreated wood. I noticed algae buildup immediately after it rains so this product is a must have.

After spraying off loose debris, then applying with a bucket and small shop broom to get down between the small grooves of the wood. I it’s starting to rain almost every other day and I could see a huge difference as to where I don’t see any green or black residue on the deck.

Great product for anyone that has a deck or wooden fence.

Warm weather brings outdoor cleaning. We spend a lot of time outside as a family. This is a great quality product. It has our deck looking brand new. Our deck was very dirty due to weather build up and mold looking stuff.

This product washed everything away including the mold and grim. Since use we haven’t had any issues it’s still looking fresh and new. We didn’t have to overly scrub, some spots yes but nothing like we used to.

This will definitely be our go to product.

I stumbled upon this product while looking for something to clean my vinyl siding. I thought I’d give it a shot, and honestly I thought because of its affordability it would not do the job the way it said it would.

To my surprise it surpassed my expectations by far!!!! Had to do a little light scrubbing on tough spots but other than that it’s apply. Wait. Rinse. And move on!!!! I love this product and look forward to using it again in the future!!! Just make sure to wear old clothes!.

Removed the algae & dirt from siding. Spray it on left it sit for 10 minutes & use my pressure washer to rinse off. Pressure washer & water does the same 2 star rating. Doesn’t work on Brick Mortar.

Sprayed it on the brick & mortar. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Use my pressure washer to rinse off. House looks the same as before. Not worrh the money.

I bought this for some stubborn mildew stains on the ceiling of an open carport attached to the side of the house. The painter didn’t use a mildew inhibitor in the paint he used, so mildew was bad. I applied this EZ House Wash with the hose attached, waited 10 minutes, rinsed with plain water and ALL mildew was gone! It worked perfectly! I plan on using it for my back porch ceiling and will try it anywhere there is mold or mildew, even the fence.

I have no doubt it will do the job. I am going to try just filling up my 2 gallon sprayer while the hose is attached to the bottle and using it that way. I think it would be a more precise application with a hand pump sprayer.

Don’t see why that won’t work as long as the hose is attached to the bottle and I fill up the sprayer with the product. Would be the same dilution as spraying from the green bottle. I Plan on buying more and keeping a bottle in the storage room at all times.
