How To Clean Vinyl Siding
Check out our Partner’s Blog and learn how to effectively clean your siding. Here are some problem areas, and cleaning solutions. 

  • Dirt, grime, soot and chalk. For general dirtiness all you’ll need is a bucket of soapy water – dish soap or common laundry detergent work well, a soft bristle brush and a garden hose. Apply the soapy mixture by hand and thoroughly rinse the siding with clean water from the garden hose. Avoid prolonged or high pressure rinsing of open ventilated areas and keep cleaning solution off surrounding fixtures and surfaces not scheduled for washing.  NOTE:  We do not recommend power washing vinyl or polymer siding as it can cause moisture intrusion, damage, and/or discoloration.  Instead, we suggest using a house wash that connects to your hose.  This is the simplest and most effective way to clean stubborn siding stains. A small amount of soapy water shouldn’t affect plants or shrubbery, but if you are concerned about plantings close to the house select a soap product without added perfumes, dyes or moisturizers. Before using, test a small amount of the solution on the plant and wait a few days to see if there are any effects.
  • Stains. Occasionally siding will incur a stubborn stain, like algae build up, that does not come off with standard household detergents. In these cases it is best to request a cleaner directly from your siding contractor. They will be able to provide you with products designed to work with the siding at hand but even still, always test a small amount in an inconspicuous location.
  • Mildew. Vinyl siding is mold and mildew resistant.  However if the siding is dirty, mildew could grow on the dirty coating especially in warmer climates with consistently high humidity.  Mildew appears as black spots on surface dirt and is usually detected in areas not subjected to rainfall, such as under eaves and porch enclosures.  To remove mix together: 1/3 cup of detergent (Tide, for example), 2/3 cup of Trisodium (SoilMax, for example), one quart of 5% Sodium Hypochlorite (Clorox bleach, for example) and three quarts of water. (Caution: Greater concentrations may cause damage to vinyl siding.) If this solution does not easily remove the mildew, you can request a mildew-specific cleaner from your contractor or local building materials retailer.
