SOFTWASH IS THE SAFEST, MOST EFFECTIVE, & LONGEST LASTING METHOD FOR

Vinyl Siding Cleaning

What is the best way to clean vinyl siding? Want to keep it looking better for longer? The key is to kill algae and bacteria growing on the surface and underneath the siding - AND prevent it from regrowing. The simple answer is Soft Washing!

Clean Vinyl Siding with Soft Wash

Vinyl Siding is one of the most common types of siding in the Midwest used for home exterior protection, because of its versatility, longevity, color options, minimal maintenance, and overall costs.

Dirt, dust, and grime all accumulate on vinyl siding, but the biggest pest is algae which are green, black or brown in color and stand out like a sore thumb.

Algae On Vinyl Siding

Algae on vinyl surfaces typically begins to grow on the North side of your home due to limited sunlight, minimum UV exposure and excess moisture due to not being dried out. 

Once the North side has been infected, the algae will start to colonize and grow on other sides of the home. Algae growth on the other sides aren’t as noticeable because of exposure to the sun, but there is still algae growth under the leading edges of the vinyl siding. 

For your home and vinyl siding to be completely algae free, its necessary to treat all the sides of your home or algae will grow right back.

Protect Vinyl Siding Inside and Out

Traditional Power Washing only treats the outside surface, removing visible algae. it DOES NOT actually kill off algae or bacteria like SoftWash does - and our process uses 100% biodegradable detergents.

In comparison, it costs a lot less to clean your entire home once the Right Way with SoftWash, vs. repeatedly cleaning portions of your home using the outdated power washing or pressure washing methods.

Soft Wash is Proven to be the Best Cleaner for Vinyl Siding

Right Way uses our SoftWash method for standard vinyl cleaning - and there are many reasons why:

  • SoftWash is safer - using low water pressure

  • Softwash uses safe 100% biodegradable detergents

  • SoftWash kills 100% of bacteria, such as algae, moss and lichen

  • SoftWash is the longest lasting vinyl siding cleaner thanks to its deep-cleaning capabilities

Many companies use pressure washers and say they “Soft Wash” by adding chemicals to a fuel-based generator with high-water pressure, so it really pays to understand the mechanics of what people are doing to your home vs. what they claim they are doing. 

Why Power Washing & Pressure Washing Are NOT Good Options

When power washing and pressure washing vinyl siding, high water pressure often leaves streaks, can remove or loosen siding planks, and allows water to get behind panels which can cause even more damage. Right Way’s SoftWash system runs on Marine batteries, so it makes no noise, is totally environmentally safe, and uses less water pressure than your kitchen faucet!

We believe it is best to be an informed consumer, even if you chose a riskier method of cleaning your vinyl siding.

Vinyl Siding Oxidation Issues: Caution is Required

Vinyl siding can also have oxidation issues typically present on the South or West sides of the home, due to extreme weather and sun exposure in those directions.

A standard SoftWash will NOT resolve the oxidation issues and may make the oxidized siding look worse after a cleaning because of the heightened contrast.

There are are restoration treatments available for this problem, but it is expensive and requires additional chemicals and brushing techniques over the entire infected area.

It is best to know if you have oxidation problems and can be determined visually looking for white haze on vinyl or physically testing by running your finger over the vinyl and checking for chalky film.

At the end of the day, vinyl siding can last for a very long time, and scheduled cleanings will make the appearance look great, protect against staining and will extend the expected life.
