Step 1: Beware of Bleach
You want to get the best clean for your vinyl siding, but you’re not sure what to use? Avoid bleach at all costs. Concentrated doses of bleach can often strip away the surface of your siding so use only when absolutely needed and make sure to dilute with water or detergent.
Do not use cleaners containing:
-organic solvents

You can always spot check a cleaner before using it on the rest of your home. Rinse all cleaners with water before they dry. If you’d rather not risk the appearance of your siding, you can mix a simple solution of 30% vinegar and 70% water. Works like a charm!
