Grime, mildew and stains build up a little at a time until one day the outside of your property looks years older. House Washing for Vinyl Siding in Winner, SD brings it back, usually in a single visit. On vinyl siding, the method we use is soft wash.
How we clean it
Cleaning solution: A diluted sodium hypochlorite (house wash) mix with a surfactant, applied low and rinsed thoroughly.
Caring for vinyl siding
Vinyl is the most common siding in the U.S. and cleans up well, but the panels overlap. Water driven upward under the laps can soak the sheathing behind them, so siding is rinsed at a downward angle and never blasted from below.
Avoid: High pressure aimed up under the panel laps, and hot water on dark-colored vinyl, which can warp.
How often: Every 1-2 years, more often on shaded north walls.
