Serving San Diego, CA
Vinyl replacement windows, doors, fencing and gates have become quite popular the last 10 years. In fact, almost all new homes communities come standard with vinyl products. It appears that vinyl, overall, has done quite a good job withstanding the California sun, but it still is showing signs of weathering. Typically, vinyl products show their age by changing color, chipping, or cracking. This all depends on the exposure the vinyl gets from elements such as mildew, mold, water, salt and sun.
To help prolong the life of your vinyl windows, doors or fencing, Chism Brothers Painting suggest that you clean the surfaces at least once a year. Sometimes a simple pressure-wash with just water will do the trick. If you live in the coastal communities, we'd suggest using a biodegradable (green-friendly) detergent or a mixture of bleach and water. The bleach kills mildew and some mold. If you decide to use bleach, make sure you protect your landscape, as bleach will burn your plants very quickly. To avoid the burning of your landscape, quickly spray down the area with water. Finally, if using bleach or a mild soap, you may need to use a sponge to wipe down the surfaces to help remove harmful elements.
In some cases, a clear sealer can be applied to vinyl surfaces. However, keeping them clean will avoid having to use a sealer.
