Tips for Cleaning Vinyl Siding

admin — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 01:19:10 +0000

Remember how bright and new your vinyl siding used to look when you first built your house? It’s discouraging to see how dull the vinyl siding gets after months and years of dirt and wear. The good news is, you can get that shiny new look back without breaking the bank. You can do it yourself! You have two options: pressure washing or a traditional cleaning with a hose and bucket.

Why use a pressure washer?
Using a pressure washer is definitely faster and less labor intensive than scrubbing the vinyl siding. All you do is pull the trigger! However some concern has arisen that the force of the water could cause the water to go under the vinyl and through the seams causing potential damage and rot to underlying wood or cause mold and mildew growth. Also, if you use a pressure washer, make sure to use a cleaner that is environmentally friendly and won’t harm surrounding plants.

Why use a hose and buckets?
The old fashioned way to clean your vinyl siding is more difficult but definitely has its advantages. Simply washing the vinyl with soap and water with a strong brush eliminates the worry that water could be forced under the siding. It can also be considered more environmentally friendly because there’s no need for an electric or gas engine.

Vinyl siding is almost maintenance free, but like anything exposed to the elements, it will eventually need some cleaning. You just have to determine which method is best for you! And remember…if you’re thinking of installing vinyl siding, contact the professionals at Trim-A-Seal of Indiana!
