CARE and MAINTENANCE
Alcoa Vinyl Siding is one of the most durable building products materials available
for residential applications. In most cases, normal rainfall keeps it sufficiently
clean. If, however, it should need to be cleaned, Alcoa recommends 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.
• Moderate atmospheric dirt
Wash occasionally with clear water using a garden hose and soft-bristled brush
(a long-handled, car-washing brush is ideal).
• Heavy industrial atmospheric dirt
Wash occasionally with a solution of 1/3 cup detergent (Tide®, for example),
2/3 cup trisodium phosphate (Soilax®, for example) and 1 gallon of water
using a soft-bristled brush (a long-handled, car-washing brush is ideal).
• Mildew accumulation
Wash with a solution of 1/3 cup detergent (Tide®, for example), 2/3 cup
trisodium phosphate (Soilax®, for example), 1 quart sodium hypochlorite
5% solution (Clorox®, for example) and 3 quarts water using a soft-bristled
brush (a long-handled, car-washing brush is ideal).
• Caulking compounds, tar and similar substances
Apply reasonable amounts of mineral spirits directly to foreign substance and
rinse area thoroughly with water.
CAUTION: Do not exceed the recommended concentrations of cleaners.
To do so can cause damage to the product’s surface. Avoid skin and eye
contact with the solutions, and in all cases follow manufacturers’ instructions
for the use of cleaning compounds and solutions. Avoid use of abrasive-type
cleaners and strong solvents. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area before
applying to major areas. To minimize streaking, always clean from the bottom
to the top and then rinse with clear water. Excessive scrubbing is unnecessary
and can be harmful to the product, resulting in undesirable gloss on the finish.
FIRE SAFETY
Exterior vinyl building materials require little maintenance for many years.
Nevertheless, common sense dictates that builders and suppliers of vinyl products
store, handle and install vinyl materials in a manner that avoids damage to
the product and/or structure. Owners and installers should take a few simple
steps to protect vinyl building materials from fire.
Home and building owners:
Rigid vinyl siding is made from organic materials and will melt or burn when
exposed to a significant source of flame or heat. Building owners, occupants
and outside maintenance personnel should always take normal precautions to keep
sources of fire, such as barbecues, and combustible materials, such as dry leaves,
mulch and trash, away from vinyl siding.
Building trades, specifiers, professionals and do-it-yourself installers:
When rigid vinyl siding is exposed to significant heat or flames, the vinyl
will soften, sag, melt or burn, and may thereby expose material underneath.
Care must be exercised when selecting underlayment materials because many underlayment
materials are made from organic materials that are combustible. You should ascertain
the fire properties of underlayment materials prior to installation. All building
materials should be installed in accordance with local, state and federal building
codes and fire regulations.
