Looking for rust stain removal for vinyl siding in your area? We look at the surface first, choose the right method and pressure for it, and give you a price before any work starts. On vinyl siding, the method we use is soft wash.

How we clean it

Soft washCleaning method
Low pressure, typically under 500 PSI at the wall, with the cleaning solution doing the workPressure

Cleaning solution: A diluted sodium hypochlorite (house wash) mix with a surfactant, applied low and rinsed thoroughly.

Cleaning vinyl siding safely

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.

Why more pressure isn’t better

  • Using the wrong acid, which can etch concrete or discolor siding
  • Pressure washing, which doesn't remove rust and can etch the surface

Rust Stain Removal for Vinyl Siding: frequently asked questions

Do you use high pressure for rust stain 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 rust stain 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 rust stain 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, and sealers and stains need dry weather to cure. If the weather isn't right, we reschedule at no charge. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
