Looking for exterior mold & mildew removal for vinyl siding in Steele, MO? We look at the surface first, choose the right method and pressure for it, and give you a price before any work starts. For vinyl siding, that means soft wash.
How we clean it
Cleaning solution: A diluted sodium hypochlorite (house wash) mix with a surfactant, applied low and rinsed thoroughly.
Cleaning vinyl siding safely
Vinyl is the most common siding in the U.S. and cleans up well, but the panels overlap. Water driven upward under the laps can soak the sheathing behind them, so siding is rinsed at a downward angle and never blasted from below.
Avoid: High pressure aimed up under the panel laps, and hot water on dark-colored vinyl, which can warp.
How often: Every 1-2 years, more often on shaded north walls.
