Perhaps spring home maintenance is far from your mind right now with the snow covering the ground, but believe it or not, in just a few months the warmer season will be here, and those exterior “honey do” lists will come out. Now could be a good time to start making a list of what needs to be done, what you’ll require to do the tasks, determining if you need help or equipment, and getting organized. One good chore to consider is whether or not your vinyl siding needs cleaning.
No matter how great it looked when it was installed, eventually vinyl siding can take on a dull or drab look due to dust, dirt, and general air pollution. A good cleaning can restore its fresh appearance, but it’s important to do it right. A power washer is the best approach, short of an army with buckets and brushes. But power washers need to be handled properly, or they can cause damage. Rental should run about $50-$75 for one day, but that’s cheaper than hiring a professional to clean your siding.
Check out this article – it’s a great step-by-step how-to so you can get that vinyl siding looking good again – the right away.
One last tip – check your siding for damaged areas before you rent your power washer. If you have cracked or missing siding, you’ll want to get it repaired before you turn on the water or you could make the damage worse.
