How to Properly Maintain Your Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding comes with a variety of benefits: it’s easy to install, it comes in a variety of pleasing colors, it’s environmentally friendly, it’s durable, and it’s easy to maintain. Let’s make that last bit clear: it’s easy to maintain, but maintenance is still required. If it’s not maintained, vinyl siding can crack or tear.

So, what can you do to keep your home’s vinyl siding from peeling, cracking, and losing its curb appeal?

Trim Prickly Bushes & Trees

Overgrown shrubbery and vinyl siding do not mix well. Trees and bushes are often responsible for scratching and damaging the material. To keep your vinyl siding in good shape, keep shrubbery away from it. If it’s hard to separate the two, then trim the nearby trees and bushes religiously.

Clean It Once a Year

Don’t just wait for the rain. Just as washing your car keeps the paint job looking fresh, cleaning your vinyl siding annually will help keep its color vibrant. To clean it effectively, you’ll need:

  • A Hose
  • A Sponge
  • A Stiff-Bristle Brush
  • A Bucket for Soapy Water
  • Dish washing or Laundry Detergent

Cover nearby plants, trees and bushes with tarp, then scrub the surface with a stiff-bristle brush dipped in soapy water; next, rinse it with water from the hose. If you have lots of built up grime, feel free to use a pressure washer.
