To keep your siding clear of oil and grease, you’ll need a soft cloth, a mix of mild liquid dishwashing soap and water and a garden hose.
Simply saturate your soft cloth with soapy water and use this to wipe the dirt off your siding. Once the stained area is covered with the solution, you can use a garden hose to rinse it off. Make sure to rinse thoroughly and continually. Don’t let the soap dry on the siding.
Dust
It’s common for dust to settle on the surfaces of your siding while home remodeling jobs are being done on your property. Contractors typically clean up after finishing their work. But in case they miss a spot on your siding, you can simply wash the dust off with water. Never use a hard metal brush or an abrasive sponge as this can damage your siding.
Mold and Mildew
Find a mildew-specific cleaner. With a soft cloth or sponge, scrub the affected area on your siding. Take note of the mildew cleaner instructions and follow it to the letter. Rinse thoroughly with a garden hose.
