Inspection: Inspect vinyl siding for loose sections, cracking, buckling or bulging areas, and repair as necessary.

Cleaning: Cleaning vinyl siding can be done by using a long-handled car washing brush that has soft bristles and a handle that fastens to a garden hose. Avoid using stiff bristle brushes or abrasive cleaners as these can dull the gloss off the vinyl siding. Use a good detergent cleaner, and add laundry bleach if mildew is a problem.

NOTE: Be careful of using pressure washers, as they are powerful enough to force water under the vinyl siding where it can encourage mildew and rot.
