how to clean vinyl siding
hlmmem asked:


We have a fly issue every summer outside our home. Our house is covered with fly specs. We live next to a farm. In the fall we have to scrub our house down which takes a long time. We were wondering if there were any ways to keep the flys away and what should we use on our vinyl siding to clean it without ruining the finish. We have tried windex with amonia which sometimes works but I am looking for some other cleaner specificlly for vinyl siding. Using just the power washer along does not work.

    try simple green it is pretty good and biodegradable so it shouldn’t harm then land or ground surrounding, as for the flies, there is not much you can do about it living next to a farm with live stock. You can all ways try spraying fly spray like raid or yard guard for the flies, other than that I wouldn’t no how else to help you, sorry.
    good luck and have a nice day….cya….

    TMin got the cleaner right. I would recommend cleaning from the bottom to the top. It will help reduce streaking.

    Home Depot, Lowes and Wal Mart, sell vinyl cleaner designed specifically for houses.

    Costal power clean fron the auto parts store worked great on my viynl. I applied it with my pressure washer. And just rinsed it off.
