Welcome to AllBrite Pressure Washing & More! In this video, we’re addressing a common issue with dark blue siding oxidation. Oxidation occurs when the paint deteriorates due to prolonged exposure to the elements, resulting in a chalky, faded appearance.

Today, we’re tackling a six-year-old house that has never been washed before. The east-facing sides are heavily oxidized, exacerbated by sun exposure and sprinkler spraying in one section making it look worse.

To remove the oxidation, we use Cleansol BC, a product made by EaCo Chem. Our mix is one part Cleansol BC to three parts water. It's important to keep the cleaner wet during the process to ensure effective removal. After applying the cleaner in small sections, we rinse it off with a pressure washer using a moderate amount of pressure.

This method isn’t a 100% solution for a paint job this old, but it significantly improves the appearance and extends the life of the paint.

Join us as we demonstrate this process step-by-step, showcasing the techniques and care we take to restore the beauty of dark blue siding. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more pressure washing tips and transformations!


Here are some things to consider when doing oxidation removal.

Take before pictures and set expectations with your customer.
Do a test area to make sure its worth it to process with removal or if its just better for the customer to have their home repainted.
Make sure the paint has a sheen. Flat paint will not work for oxidation removal.
Do not allow cleaner to dry on the siding.
