    Wood plank siding

    How would one go about washing a painted wood plank sided house? I was thinking just a weak hw mix but want to make sure before moving forward. The paint looks like it is in good shape but I have told the home owner there may be some flaking.

    I received a message asking if we can clean permastone siding, the thing is I don't really know much about permastone. Would DSing my regular house wash mix work or is there a special chemical/process that I should use? I used the search function and google with little to no results. Thanks
