What’s the Best Way to Clean Your Home’s Siding?

Vinyl siding is a popular covering for homes in the Alpharetta area. If you maintain your vinyl-covered home, then you’ll probably have to find a way to clean the outside at some point.

But what’s the best way to clean vinyl siding?

DIY Vinyl Siding Scrub

The most traditional method of cleaning siding involves a bucket of soapy water and a long-handled brush. This technique works fine on small areas, but you’ll quickly find that cleaning the outside of even just a one-story house is quite the project!

Then there’s the chance of using the wrong cleaning agents in the solution. A mild combination of bleach and detergent usually works. Not all siding is built the same, however. You may end up permanently damaging the paint or vinyl on your home if you use the wrong chemicals.

Lastly, you have to consider the risk factor. Trying to scrub hard-to-reach places with a heavy brush from high on a ladder is a recipe for trouble!

DIY Pressure Washing

A pressure washing hose operated from the ground is fairly safe. It’s also very effective even when used with gentle cleaning chemicals. The only concern here is that inexperience with using a pressure washer can result in damage to your siding and even water seepage in the walls of your home.
