Cleaning Damaged Pieces And Purchasing Caulk
Damaged pieces of siding can be sprayed with a vinyl cleaning agent. A soft-bristled scrub brush or a sponge can be used to loosen dirty residue from vinyl. A water hose should be used to rinse treated surfaces. A tube of siding caulk that matches the color of damaged siding pieces can be purchased from a siding distributor. If a siding business does not have a particular color of caulk in stock, they can match the color. An individual can bring a piece of siding with them when they are ready to purchase caulk to assist with preparing a color that matches.
Filling Holes With Caulk
A tube of siding caulk needs to inserted in a caulk gun’s chamber. The tip of a tube of caulk should be cut at an angle before caulking. While a tube’s tip is inside a hole, a gun’s trigger will need to be squeezed. After all of the holes are filled, a plastic scraper can be moved firmly over repaired areas to remove excess caulk. Caulk may take several hours to dry.
Siding can be maintained by cleaning it with non-abrasive products and tools when pieces have stains on them.
