Vinyl siding is an incredibly popular choice, thanks to its durability, fair price point, and visual appeal. Over time, stains can accumulate on it, resulting in the need for professional pressure washing. As you maintain your home throughout the year, be aware of these three common causes of dirty vinyl siding. 

3 Reasons Why Vinyl Siding Gets Dirty

1. Pollen & Dirt

Your siding is constantly exposed to the elements, seasonal changes, and inclement weather. As a result, debris like dirt, pollen, dust, and mud are likely to splash and eventually accumulate on your siding. While there’s no way to prevent this issue entirely, cleaning or pressure washing your siding immediately following a storm or particularly windy day is a great way to maintain curb appeal.

2. Mold & Mildew

While vinyl siding can be sealed and is naturally water-resistant, this material isn’t impervious to the effects of moisture. Mold and mildew can begin to grow on siding during particularly humid and wet seasons. Beyond pressure washing, pruning trees and reducing the amount of plant life that touches your siding can help with overall prevention. 

3. Roof Problems

Clogged gutters and ice dams on your roof can also result in ongoing water exposure for your siding. Beyond mold and mildew growth, this influx of moisture can create water stains or streaks that are similar in color to your original siding but still obvious to the naked eye. Preventing water stains involves roof maintenance, gutter cleaning, and ensuring moisture is driven away from your home during a storm.
