One of the most maintenance-free home products is vinyl siding. If you have vinyl siding in Lehi, you have a product that will make your home look good for years with very little upkeep. Today’s blog, will tell you what you can do to keep your vinyl siding looking great, year after year.
Vinyl Siding In Lehi
First, vinyl siding in Lehi is versatile and will cost you very little in time or money for cleaning and maintenance over the years. In fact, most people do little or nothing to maintain their home’s exterior, and it stays looking fine.
If you have bushes or trees that are close to the house, though, you should trim them so they don’t put pressure on the siding as they grow. Small leaves and branches growing under the lap of the siding can eventually become big enough to warp or break the siding.
Some homeowners care for their vinyl siding by power washing it, which is a good option. Over time siding can get dirty, particularly low to the ground where sprinklers and heavy rain can splash mud onto the walls of your home. However, never wash “up” as you spray; instead, use a ladder so you can hold the nozzle straight. If you spray water upward, some can get under the lap, which can—under the wrong circumstances—become mold or cause dampness in your walls. Siding is placed to lap downward, letting water run off, not under, the lap.
Finally, if your vinyl siding in Lehi gets dirtier than you can wash with a hose, you can use a brush and some soap and water to scrub it. Vinyl siding is made with the color permeating the vinyl, so you won’t scrub it off unless you have painted your siding.
