Vinyl Siding Pressure Washing

Vinyl siding has become one of the most popular siding options for houses. Vinyl is long-lasting, durable, and versatile, and its popularity is only increasing.

In order to get the most out of your vinyl siding, it does need to be periodically maintained. Pressure washing vinyl siding is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to make sure your vinyl siding looks as beautiful as possible.

Vinyl Siding Needs to Be Maintained

Vinyl siding is an exterior product, designed to protect your home from the outside elements and any dirt that might accumulate. All of that debris and grime can build up over time, and things like bird droppings, spider webs, pollen, and rust can quickly dull the color of your vinyl siding.

Depending on how the house is shaded by trees, you can accumulate mold and mildew. Vinyl siding is also susceptible to things like fertilizing sprays, insecticides, and weed-killer, and these liquids can discolor or fade your vinyl coloring.

The key to avoiding permanent damage with vinyl siding is regular cleaning maintenance.

Pressure Washing Vinyl Siding

While vinyl siding can be wiped down with a soft cloth, that cleaning method can be time-consuming, especially if your house is large! Power-washing, or pressure washing, can be an effective way to clean your vinyl siding, quickly and without spending a lot of time.
There are some factors that need to be considered before pressure washing your vinyl siding:

• The manufacturer’s cleaning instructions
• Whether or not the vinyl siding has been painted over
• The level of pressure applied by the washer
• Any cleaning chemicals involved in the process

Depending on the exact requirements of the pressure washer, the vinyl siding itself, and the chemicals involved, the cleaning process might be significantly different.

Professional Vinyl Siding Pressure Washing

While you could power wash your own vinyl siding, if you don’t have all of the information or know the techniques, pressure washing could be more than time-consuming–it could end up to be expensive! Power washing needs to be done at eye level, making sure the pressure stays low enough to not damage your siding, but also high enough to get the dirt and grime out. If power-washing is done at an angle, you can also trap water behind the siding, potentially causing dry rot or other structural problems down the road. It’s always best to consult a professional when power-washing, especially if you want to get the most out of your vinyl siding!
