How to Effectively Clean Oxidized Vinyl Siding

January 23, 2023

Vinyl siding is an excellent material for protecting and enhancing the look of your home, but it can get dirty and oxidized over time. If your vinyl siding is looking dull and faded, don’t worry – it’s easy to clean and remove oxidation.

 

 Read on to know about easy ways to clean and remove oxidation from vinyl siding so you can keep your home looking its best. Read on to learn more!

 

Prepare your cleaning solution

 

If you’re looking for a simple and inexpensive way to clean your oxidized vinyl siding, you should consider using a vinegar-based cleaning solution. To make this solution, you’ll need vinegar, dish soap, and bleach.

 

To get started, mix together one part vinegar, one part dish soap, and two parts of water. You can also add in a few drops of bleach if you want a more powerful solution.

 

Once everything is mixed, use a garden sprayer or hose attachment to apply the solution directly to the siding. Make sure to give it time to soak in before rinsing it off with plain water.

 

Wear protective gear

 

For tougher stains and oxidation, you may need to repeat this process a few times. Be sure to wear protective clothing and gloves while cleaning, as the vinegar and bleach solution can be harsh on your skin. After you’re finished, give the siding a thorough rinse with plain water to remove any remaining residue.

 

Rinse vinyl siding

 

Using a garden hose is one of the best methods to clean oxidized vinyl siding. Start by removing as much dirt and debris from the surface as possible.  This can be done with a soft-bristled brush or broom, being careful not to scratch or damage the vinyl.

 

Use chemical cleaner

 

Chemical cleaners are a more powerful option to clean your oxidized vinyl siding. It’s important to be careful with chemical cleaners because they can be harmful if you’re not careful. Always read the labels of the chemical cleaner and follow all safety precautions before you start cleaning your vinyl siding.

 

To use this cleaner, mix one gallon of warm water with one cup of the cleaner in a bucket. Dip a long-handled soft brush into the solution and scrub the entire surface of the siding. Make sure to rinse the brush often to keep it from getting clogged. Once you have finished scrubbing, rinse off the siding with a garden hose.

 

Use professional power washing service

 

Power washing is a great way to quickly and effectively clean oxidized vinyl siding. It involves using a high-powered water stream that can easily remove dirt, debris, and stains from vinyl siding. This method is recommended for those with large homes or buildings with multiple stories as it can cover a lot of ground in a relatively short amount of time.

 

If you’re considering power washing your vinyl siding, it’s best to hire a professional service rather than attempting the job yourself. Professional services have the experience and expertise necessary to ensure your siding is properly cleaned without any potential damage.

 

Conclusion

 

Oxidized vinyl siding can be effectively cleaned in a few ways. However, it is important to note that although cleaning your vinyl siding is necessary, regularly scheduled maintenance is best in order to prevent oxidation from occurring in the first place. Keeping your siding clean and free of debris will not only help it last longer, but will also make your home look more attractive.
