Any woodwork if its sound wipe over with a damp cloth, everything else leave it, u may create more problems than you solve.

make sure if there are any plants, bushes etc around the house that you give them a good spray covering them in water to help dilute any tfr that may land on them..

last year i saw a man washing his own house walls with a little prssure washer.we spoke and  he had added just bleach to the water and it was a white painted pebble dash wall-came up looking really great

I cleaned this one firstly using the water fed pole and pure water, but this didnt clean well enough so i used a pressure washer with a rotary surface cleaner on the end.
