Maintenance

Generally, your vinyl siding can be cleaned satisfactorily through the use of an ordinary garden hose. If this does not do the job satisfactorily, then we suggest the following:

•	Equip the garden hose with a soft-bristled, long handled, car brush.
•	Where soil is of a stubborn nature, (as frequently found in industrial areas) the following cleaning solution works well: 1/2 Cup Detergent (Tide, as an Example) 2/3 Cup of Trisodium Phosphate (Soilax, as an Example) 1 Gallon Water

Rigid vinyl siding is made from organic materials, and will melt or burn when exposed to a significant source of flame or heat. Building owners, occupants, and outside maintenance personnel should always take normal precautions to keep sources of fire, such as barbecues, and combustible materials, such as dry leaves, mulch, and trash away from vinyl siding.

In certain geographical areas where mildew may be a problem, substitute one quart of 5% sodium hydroxide (Clorox, for example) for one quart of water in the above formula for removal of more stubborn stains, refer to chart provided.
