How To Clean And Power Wash The Vinyl Siding Of Your Fishers, Carmel, Or Noblesville Home

When performing exterior house cleaning projects, you run across many different types of products used to cover the walls and roof. But there is one that seems to be more popular than all the rest combined and that is vinyl siding. The good thing is that cleaning vinyl siding is a chore that most anyone can do without commercial equipment, as long as they know how to do it and what additional steps need to be done for the effort they spend to last and for the home to look it's best when completed.

Tips for Cleaning The Vinyl Siding Of Your Indianapolis, Indiana Home

Cleaning vinyl siding is not a science but it is hard work if you do the job properly and there are several things that need to be done in addition to the cleaning process that will help the siding remain mildew-free for an extended period of time. That additional step is the application of a wax that helps protect the siding by resisting the growth of mildew. This is a vital part of cleaning vinyl siding and if you don't want to come home in a few months only to find that the mildew has resurfaced, then you don't want to skip this step.

Another thing to remember when cleaning vinyl siding is not to hold the tip of the wand too close to the siding. It does not take much pressure to clean siding if you use the right cleaning products. Make sure you buy professional strength cleaners for vinyl siding and again, don't get too close. Doing so can cause several problems but the most obvious is damage to the siding. Be careful and this DIY chore can save you money and protect your home from being overrun by the growth of mildew on your vinyl siding.

Now we could continue on about how cleaning vinyl siding is done, but by making sure you know and have the proper equipment and cleaners is most of the battle.

Power Washing/Pressure Cleaning Vinyl Siding Professionally - Indiana Pressure Wash Company

Before pressure washers were invented and available to the general public, cleaning the exterior of a house was very labor intensive. The walls of the home had to be scrubbed from ladders that created unsafe conditions for individuals not experienced in the construction industry & physically fit to work in outdoor conditions.

Well fortunately for us, times have changed and exterior house cleaning is actually pretty simple if you have the right pressure washing equipment and know-how to do the job right. Other factors that make things easier is the invention of vinyl siding which is much easier to clean than brick, block, wood and stucco houses.

So let's talk about cleaning vinyl siding since it is so popular on today's homes. The first step to doing a top quality power washing job is to use the right pressure washer and the right cleaners for vinyl siding. Remember to only use solvents that are approved for pressure washer use.

Next, apply the cleaner under low pressure with smooth, overlapping strokes. To prevent streaking, start from the bottom and work your way up. Pressure washing is a lot like painting. If you get "hose happy" and randomly spray everything, you're bound to miss a spot. Don't try to do too big of an area at once and let the cleaner sit long enough to do its' job.

Now rinse away the cleaner but don't get to close. Pressure washers work under high pressure and you wouldn't want to damage anything. Keep the tip of the wand a couple of feet from the wall & gradually move closer only if needed, but with caution.

And lastly, be careful not to spray water directly at the eaves, gable vents and especially light fixtures and outlets. You should also be careful around windows and doors. High pressure can knock out or bust old or loose window panes. Make sure to rinse the cleaners thoroughly and never point the wand at yourself or anyone else.

If this seems too difficult, it may be in your best interest to contact an Indianapolis power washing contractor who specializes in exterior house washing.
