Thanks, everyone, you saved me $70. Maybe I'll try the peeing

Question - how many hours does it typically take to pressure wash an
average sized, one story house, including a patio? I'm thinking 5 to 6
hours at most.


Another alternative -- a plain old garden hose, maybe with a detergent
sprayer attached, and something like the head of a big push-broom to 'scrub'
the siding with. Given that the paint is still good, the 'cleaning' doesn't
take a lot of effort.
