Designed with homeowners in mind, Preservation Siding is known for being remarkably easy to maintain. This is largely thanks to the fact it is crafted using top-quality vinyl, a material that is exceptionally durable and less susceptible to damage over time. In fact, Preservation Siding is less likely to rot, warp, crack, or fall victim to insect infestation than other types of exterior siding. While this premium siding option is about as low maintenance as it gets, homeowners can follow a few simple steps to keep their Preservation Siding in top form for the long run.
If you have Preservation Siding at your home—or if you’re considering it for an upcoming siding replacement project—follow these tips to keep it looking as good as it did on the day it was installed:
1. Prepare Your Home Before Cleaning Your Siding
No matter which method of cleaning your siding you choose, you should protect your home’s landscaping, furniture, and other outdoor items from damage in the process. You can simply cover the foliage and unplug and move other devices away from the exterior walls, as applicable. Close all windows and doors to your house to protect your interior space before starting the cleaning process. It may also be a good idea to inspect your siding for possible breaks, although these are highly unlikely given the resilience of Preservation Siding.
2. Cleaning Your Siding Using a Cloth or Brush
Vinyl siding can be easily cleaned with a soft cloth or long-handled brush, but only use brushes with soft bristles to avoid damaging your siding. For best results, start at the bottom of the house and work up, using a cleaning solution that you rinse off as you go. If you are simply cleaning off dirt and debris, you should only need a bucket of warm water and a mild soap such as laundry detergent or dish soap.
3. How to Clean Your Siding Using a Power Washer
You can also power wash your vinyl siding, but you will need to take care and follow the directions clearly. Improper use of a power washer could result in damage, so you may want to first check your siding warranty and take extra care to use the washer as directed.
