Vinyl siding is a versatile choice for siding. This siding comes in a wide variety of patterns, textures, grains, and colors. Vinyl siding Hammond has become very popular in modern homes as it is easy to install and is also easy to maintain. If you want to ensure that the siding maintains its original luster and continues to look as attractive as it did when it was installed, you should ensure that you clean it annually.
There are various solutions that you can use to clean vinyl siding. If the siding is not exceptionally dirty, you can use a simple solution of warm water and liquid soap. It is important to note that harsh detergents will destroy the vinyl by causing scratches on the surface and reducing its luster. You can use dishwashing liquid to clean the vinyl. Simply add some drops of dishwashing liquid to a bucket of warm water and use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the vinyl surface.
If you live in a single storey building, you should have no problem cleaning the siding. You can easily reach all the surfaces without having to climb onto anything. You should start by rinsing all the vinyl siding Hammond with cold water. You can use a garden hose for this. Use a long handed soft brush to brush away the dirty water. Ensure that you do not use a hard brush, as this would scratch the surface of the siding. Use the brush to scrub the siding with the warm soapy water. Ensure that you concentrate on one side of the siding at a time. If you attempt to scrub various surfaces at a time it would take longer. You would end up with streaks on your siding as a result of the drying up of the soap.
If your home is more than one storey, reaching all the siding will not be as easy. This is especially true if you are afraid of heights or do not have access to a ladder. In either case, you can make use of a high pressure washer on your hose. This will ensure that the water gets to the higher vinyl siding. It is important to be careful when using a high pressure washer. Ensure that the pressure is not too high. The water will otherwise get behind the siding and result in damage.
If you have stains on your vinyl siding Hammond, ensure that you wear rubber gloves and goggles when using stronger cleaning agents. Many of the chemicals used to remove stains can cause chemical burns or skin reactions. Green copper stains are easily removed by using a solution of oxalic acid and water.
