The previous owners painted the bottom of our porch (part u walk on) white. I absolutely positively undeniably unquestionably hate it. Any cost-efficient suggestions on how to fix this problem. I’ve tried using a pressure washer, but it took too much time and water. Our porch is a wrap-around and they painted every bit of it.


Amanda, usually porches (if I gather correctly, yours is composed of wood, right?) are very much similar to decks. So, what do you want to do, just wash it or totally change the outlook of it?
In the latter case, you need to determine if the porch, like a deck, needs a sealer. Here’s a great handyman article on this below:

If it does need an additional sealing coat, here’s yet another handyman article on how to go about doing that:
