However, like anything else exposed to atmospheric conditions, vinyl siding can become dirty. Here are a few simple tips to help keep your vinyl siding looking beautiful:

• To remove grime, soil and other buildup from your siding, use a garden hose and a soft bristle brush or cloth. With soapy water, gently scrub the siding until the grime is loosened and then use the hose to wash away the dirt. For best results, wash the house from the bottom up, making sure to rinse before the soap dries.
• If any vinyl siding boards appear cracked or damaged, contact the pros at Window Nation for information on how to acquire a replacement panel. Another great benefit to vinyl siding is that damaged panels are easily acquired and replaced.
• If you have stains that are difficult to remove, high pressure rinsing may be helpful. It is important that you avoid prolonged high pressure rinsing and you keep any cleaning solutions off your surrounding fixtures and surfaces (exposed brick, etc) that aren’t meant to be washed. You should also read the washer instructions carefully before use!
