Cleaning Vinyl Siding

Why cleaning vinyl siding is a necessity before it fades and oxidizes
UV radiation and acid rain are the primary causes of surface deterioration. The result is siding with a dull, chalky appearance. The surface is then subject to becoming brittle. The oxidation creates a rough surface that absorbs moisture, which makes it a perfect breeding ground for the growth of mold, mildew and fungus. If you want to avoid seeing the aforementioned problems occur, then try Vinyl ReNu on your vinyl siding.

Vinyl ReNu is a polymer?
Vinyl ReNu is a clear antimicrobial polymer that is registered with the EPA and is approved by the State of California. Vinyl ReNu is applied to vinyl siding to restore and protect the vinyl surface. When applied, Vinyl ReNu dries as a clear protective shield that will not fade or oxidize. Vinyl ReNu's anti-microbial formula also prevents the growth of mold, mildew and fungus. In addition, Vinyl ReNu helps prevent siding from becoming brittle. Vinyl ReNu offers homeowners more than a vinyl siding cleaner. Vinyl ReNu restores and protects vinyl siding.

Use Vinyl ReNu instead of painting your siding?
Painting resolves the aesthetic appearance, but does not solve the problem. Without the proper removal of oxidation, painting alone becomes subject to delamination (separation) and deterioration from UV radiation and acid rain. And over time, the surface will again oxidize. By using Vinyl Renu, you ensure that oxidation will not ruin the look of your siding.

How long will Vinyl ReNu keep the siding looking good?
Once the surface is properly prepared and Vinyl ReNu applied, the protective shield carries an unconditional ten-year warranty. Any scratch marks that occur can be easily restored by re-applying Vinyl ReNu to the damaged area. In addition, the protected surface can be easily cleaned by simply using a garden hose.

Does cold and heat, or snow and ice have an effect on Vinyl ReNu?
Vinyl ReNu, which is a product of Dur-A-Shield, is like other Dur-A-Shield products in that it is not affected by UV radiation, acid rain, salts or chemicals. Plus, it will contract and expand with prevailing weather conditions. The Federal Aviation Administration uses Dur-A-Shield on radar tracking stations situated atop mountains where inclement weather is a frequent problem.

Dur-A-Shield products appear in diverse locations. The Department of Defense is testing one of the polymer formulas on tanks and the Canadian Air Force protects its aircraft with it. The Federal Aviation Administration is testing Dur-A-Shield to keep ice off radar tracking stations atop the frosty 10,000 foot high mountains in Idaho.
