My Siding Is Dirty, What Is The Best Way To Clean It?

Georgia-Pacific® Vinyl Siding and Accessories products are some of the most durable building product materials available today for residential applications. In most cases, normal rainfall is sufficient to keep it clean. But, should your products need cleaning, we recommend the following procedures. Particular attention should be given to areas under eaves, porches, awnings and other overhangs that have limited exposure to the natural washing effect of rainfall.

What Is Certified Siding?

The Vinyl Siding Institute (VSI) is an organization responsible for setting the bar for vinyl siding quality through installation certification programs and product testing. They create the programs to certify the consistency and quality of vinyl and polypropylene siding. These programs are verified by an independent third party quality control agency, Intertek of York, PA.

Intertek tests against the industry’s quality standards (ASTM D3679 and ASTM D7254) twice a year, conducts unannounced manufacturing plan inspections, and reports their findings.  In addition to the independent quality control verifications, VSI sponsors third-party verifications for vinyl siding color retention – further ensuring the integrity of product claims.  If you would like more information on this please read further.
