How To Care For Vinyl Siding

Moderate Atmospheric Dirt - We recommend an occasional washing with clear water using a garden hose and soft-bristled brush (a long-handled, car-washing brush is ideal for this purpose).

Heavy Industrial Atmospheric Dirt - Wash in the manner indicated above, but use the following solution:
1/3 cup detergent (Tide®, for example)
2/3 cup trisodium phosphate (Soilax®, for example)
1 gallon water

Mildew Accumulation - Mildew can collect on surfaces of all types of building products and is often evident on surfaces that have not been properly cared for and maintained. Normally, mildew will appear as black spots. Mildew is easy to remove by using the basic cleaning solution above with the addition of sodium hypochlorite as follows:
1/3 cup detergent (Tide®, for example)
2/3 cup trisodium phosphate (Soilax®, for example)
1 quart sodium hypochlorite 5% solution (Clorox®, for example)
3 quarts water

Caulking Compounds, Tar and Similar Substances - Use mineral spirits in reasonable amounts and apply directly to the foreign substance. Immediately after cleaning, rinse the area thoroughly with water.
