use some tfr (traffic film remover)
non-caustic type
should be diluted 20:1
spray it on leave for 5-10 mins then pole it off.
I did one last week and it was minging!
got the cheque today with a Big Thank You note.
They thought they were going to the wrong house!!! ;D ;D

Unless it is really dirty just pure water will do it. I use a Vikan brush. Again depending how dirty, your hourly rate times how long you think will take.If you get price wrong, you will know for next one :)

spray it on with a small sprayer they sell them in B&Q places like that.
The one i did I charged for 2 1/2 hours work 2 1/2  x hourly rate
average size house with cladding roof to top of g/f windows front only
job done in 50 mins  ::) ::)
