Same here but I do have a front and back porch and the pressure washer works great but OMG!! It's so bright for a few weeks after washing. You need sunglasses just to get close to the house.

A smaller unit will do the same job, it will just take longer. Don't be fooled by the pressure game also look at gallons per min. Think of it like a hammer. The pressure is how hard you swing it the,: GPM is how big the head of the hammer is.
Thanks for the bonus tip, stude!

Hmm.. Bleach? When do we use Laundry Detergent and Fabric Softener?
