I usually use a clorox mix but don't wanna fade my paint anymore than it may already have.

It used a chemical reaction of this and bleach. Works much better than bleach alone. I am not a fan of the pressure washer in most cases...

Jomax, follow the directions to mix with bleach and water and be ready to be amazed at how well it works

bricks are not designed to be pressure washed, you are damaging the texture of the face and the mortar if you put any kind of legit pressure on it.

So you just spray this and rinse off with regular hose? I was just drinking coffee and patio and realized how terrible by gutters and hardy plank look.

You can turn the pressure down on any halfway decent pump.

I haven't ever pre-washed anything except if I can't get close enough to legit clean it

Start there, then decide if more work is needed, either a scrub with a brush or pressure washer.

TSP with a little bit of bleach. Works wonders.

Clorox, water and dawn in the bucket

The dawn acts as a detergent to loosen shite up

I agree. Jomax usually does the trick alone though. That shite is the bomb
