From the free quote to the final rinse, exterior mold & mildew removal for vinyl siding in your area follows a simple process: inspect, protect, clean, rinse and check. With vinyl siding, the right approach is soft wash.
The right method for the job
Cleaning solution: A diluted sodium hypochlorite (house wash) mix with a surfactant, applied low and rinsed thoroughly.
What to know about cleaning vinyl siding
Vinyl is the most common siding in the U.S. and cleans up well, but the panels overlap. Water driven upward under the laps can soak the sheathing behind them, so siding is rinsed at a downward angle and never blasted from below.
Avoid: High pressure aimed up under the panel laps, and hot water on dark-colored vinyl, which can warp.
How often: Every 1-2 years, more often on shaded north walls.

Do you use high pressure for exterior mold & mildew removal for vinyl siding?
For vinyl siding: low pressure, typically under 500 PSI at the wall, with the cleaning solution doing the work. What we avoid: high pressure aimed up under the panel laps, and hot water on dark-colored vinyl, which can warp. The cleaning solution does most of the work, followed by a gentle rinse.
Is exterior mold & mildew removal for vinyl siding safe for my plants and pets?
We pre-wet plants and lawns, keep cleaning solutions diluted to what the surface needs, and rinse landscaping again when we finish. Keep pets and children inside until surfaces are rinsed and dry.
How often should I schedule exterior mold & mildew removal for vinyl siding?
Every 1-2 years, more often on shaded north walls. Shade, nearby trees, humidity and heavy traffic mean more frequent cleaning; sunny, dry spots can go longer. Our free cleaning frequency tool gives a recommendation for your climate.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn't stop most washing, but heavy rain, high wind, lightning and freezing temperatures do. If the weather isn't right, we reschedule at no charge. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
