    I just used my Jetterix for the first time on some vinyl siding and wasn’t sure which spray pattern to stick with. The wide one seemed fine but I wondered if the concentrated stream is better for getting moss off. Anyone have a preference for siding?

    I usually just stick with the wide setting for most of the siding. I tried the concentrated stream on some mossy spots near the foundation, and it seemed to knock it off okay without blasting the vinyl too hard.

    I pretty much just leave mine on the wide setting the whole time. The concentrated stream felt like it might leave marks if I got too close.

    I’d probably just stick with the wide setting and not overthink it.

    Concentrated stream will definitely handle the moss better, just keep your distance so it doesn’t dig into the vinyl. I usually switch between the two depending on the spot.

    I think I just used the wide setting the whole time and didn’t really mess with it. Maybe the concentrated stream would be better for moss, but I didn’t have that problem.

    I just leave mine on the wide setting and don’t really worry about it. The concentrated stream seems like it’d be more work to switch back and forth. It all comes off eventually anyway.

    I’m curious about this too. The wide setting seems safer, but I bet the concentrated stream would make quick work of moss. Maybe it depends on how dirty the siding really is.

    I pretty much just leave mine on the wide setting. The concentrated stream feels like it’s asking for trouble if you accidentally get too close.

    I usually just mess around with the settings as I go. The wide one feels safer for the big flat areas, but I’ll switch to the concentrated stream for any stubborn spots without overthinking it. Not totally sure it matters that much in the end.

    Wide setting is fine for general cleaning. If the moss is really stubborn just hit it with the concentrated stream for a second.

    I pretty much just use the wide setting for everything and it works fine. The concentrated stream feels like overkill for siding unless you’ve got some really caked on stuff.

    I usually just stick with the wide setting for the whole job. The concentrated stream works but I feel like I’d end up with a weird striped look if I’m not careful.

    I haven’t tried the concentrated stream on siding yet, mostly because I’m a little nervous about messing up the vinyl. I just keep it on the wide setting and it seems to do the job okay for regular dirt.

    Most of this sounds like overthinking it. Wide setting works, concentrated stream works, it’s not that deep.

    I’m still on the fence about buying one, but reading this makes me think the wide setting is probably the safer bet for just getting started. Does the concentrated stream actually make that much of a difference on moss, or is it more about just holding it closer?

    I usually stick with the wide setting. The concentrated stream feels like it might be too much for vinyl and I don’t want to risk damaging it.

    I only used the concentrated stream for a couple spots with moss and it worked fine. Kept the wide setting for the rest. Didn’t seem to hurt anything.

    I just switched between the two depending on what I was hitting. Wide for the main panels, concentrated for any stubborn dirt in the corners.

    I feel like people might be overthinking this a bit. If the wide setting gets the job done, just use that and move on with your day.

    Good to know I wasn’t the only one bouncing between settings. I pretty much did the same thing, wide for the easy stuff and the narrow stream for the mossy spots. No damage here either, so I’ll just keep doing that.
