Default enough psi in a powerwasher for 3 story house cleaning of siding?

35 feet? A plain old garden hose will deliver a stronger stream of

the nozzle. You need to be within a foot or two of whatever you are
trying to clean. At five feet, there is just a fine mist gently
wafting through the air.

Thats all I use to wash our siding. As you said a pressure washer is
useless at that range and really not a good thing to use on siding that
is closer.


They must sell things that go on garden hoses that will mix soap in
with the water. Last year they had a product that was meant for
cleaning windows on the second floor. I think it was blue. Don't know
how well it worked on windows, let alone walls.
