VINYL SIDING CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Maintaining a beautiful home exterior shouldn’t have to be time consuming or difficult. That’s why ProVia® super polymer vinyl siding is engineered to be low maintenance, allowing you to spend more time focusing on what matters most to you.

Save time and money
The best way to clean vinyl siding is with mild soap and water, which will keep your siding looking its best year after year. You won’t have to spend money and time on the messy, regular maintenance requirements of other cladding materials such as wood or fiber cement. Unlike those materials, with vinyl siding you can look forward to many years of enjoying:

  • No painting or staining
  • No caulking or sealing
  • No re-pointing of mortar

HOW TO CLEAN VINYL SIDING

Cleaning your ProVia vinyl siding is practically effortless. A quick wash with mild soapy water, a soft brush, and a rinse from your garden hose is all that’s needed to keep it looking its best.

For routine cleaning, use a mixture of dish soap and warm water. Working in sections, wet the siding with a garden hose, gently scrub with a soft-bristle brush, and rinse clean.

Harsh solvents, abrasive cleansers, and bleach are unnecessary and not recommended, as they may damage the siding and harm nearby plants.

A long-handled car wash brush is a convenient option, especially one that connects to a hose for a continuous flow of water while cleaning.

When washing the entire exterior, start at the bottom and work upward to help prevent streaking.

For stubborn stains, clean the area with a mixture of white vinegar and warm water or a diluted degreasing dish soap solution. Gently scrub with a soft brush using moderate pressure.

Cleaning any vinyl siding with a pressure washer is strongly discouraged; the force of the pressure may push water behind the panels or penetrate and damage sections of the siding. If you choose to use a pressure washer, be sure to adjust the PSI to the lowest setting and use a wide spray pattern rather than a concentrated jet spray, to avoid damage. Test in an inconspicuous area before cleaning the entire house.

ProVia vinyl siding does not require painting, staining, or caulking, eliminating the need for harsh chemicals. As this negates the danger of releasing solvent fumes into the environment, low-maintenance ProVia siding can contribute to earning points in green building certification programs.
