Hi! I am looking for some advice on a couple of post-construction jobs coming up some with anodized aluminum frames and a good amount of stained wood, I find there’s very little info/posts about it out there on post-construction siding/roof cleans. I have experience with removing organics but not much dealing with light/medium post-construction dust. I did one project with just regular Dawn but had to brush quite a bit to achieve good results, and with the sheer height of the last house it became quite difficult/time consuming.
I’m wondering what do you guys usually use that reduces brushing effort and is safe? And what issues/horror stories have you guys encountered with it? I saw a post mentioning HD Britenol alone works well. I cannot use Cleansol BC as the frames are black anodized aluminum and it will discolour them. I tested it quickly and it did just that. I read HD Britenol is okay for unpainted metals and stained wood (at a low concentration of course). This one specific project does has very light soil but other possible potential future jobs I looked at are much worse. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can only attach one photo, most of the houses are very similar modern type homes in the PNW (mostly painted wood sidings, black painted and anodized frames, stained wood soffits, some bare aluminum/metals). Thanks!
