How to Clean Vinyl Siding
Aside from the affordability of vinyl siding, keeping it clean easily is also another great perk! Cleaning vinyl siding Apart from from the low cost of vinyl siding, it is also very easy to clean! Washing vinyl siding is sometimes as simple as using a pressure washer or a soapy bucket of water and some elbow grease. It is entirely up to the individual homeowner to determine which cleaning strategy is best for them. However, for the most thorough clean or spot care, most people believe that using soapy water and elbow grease is the safest way to go. Cleaning vinyl siding is simple in any case.
Pressure Washing Vinyl
*Pro-Tip: The trick is to start with a low-pressure setting and gradually increase the pressure as required. From there, always use correct soap or detergent, and avoid corrosive cleaning solutions including undiluted bleach or unconventional cleaners such as furniture polishes or degreasers—all of these can harm your siding!
Soap and Water
This elbow grease approach could not be more straightforward. Using a bucket and a full-length scrubber (or sponge, whatever you prefer). The scrubber is slightly less taxing on the back). Gentle items such as dish soap and water or vinegar and water are the perfect vinyl siding cleaning solutions. Alternatively, you could purchase a commercial vinyl siding cleaner to do the job.Apply the solution, then scrub the siding with a soft-bristled brush or microfiber cloth before rinsing with a spray hose.
Clean Tough Stains:
For tough stains such as paint drips,tar, pencil, and pen marks use a non-abrasive bathtub cleaner or a nylon scrubber.
For mold and mildew stains use one part bleach in 4 parts water. (Please never mix ammonia and bleach)
