How to Clean the Exterior of Your Garage

Step-by-Step Guide

   Step 1: Use a jet wash machine to clean the walls of the garage.

   This will get rid of the build-up of dirt and make the brickwork look fresher.

   Remember that these machines can be extremely powerful, so you might take some of the cement away when cleaning the brickwork.
