L. IMPORTANT FIRE SAFETY INFORMATION
Exterior vinyl building materials require little maintenance for many years.
Nevertheless, common sense dictates 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.
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
precautions to keep sources of fire, such as barbecues, and combustible
materials, such as dry leaves, mulch and trash, away from vinyl siding.
When rigid vinyl siding is exposed to significant heat or flame, the
vinyl will soften, sag, melt or burn, and may expose building materials
underneath. Care must be exercised prior to installation when selecting
underlayment materials because many underlayment materials are made
from organic materials. All building materials, including vinyl siding,
should be installed in accordance with local, state and federal building
codes and fire regulations.

K. CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Vinyl siding is easily cleaned with a soft cloth or soft bristle brush. For
textured surfaces, the brush keeps the grooves in the texture stain-free.
Small spots of mold and mildew are a breeze to clean with common cleaners
such as Fantastik
®
or Windex
®
. For larger sections, many homeowners use
a solution of vinegar (30%) and water (70%) with great results.
The following solution has proven effective for removing stains on vinyl siding:
1/3 cup powdered laundry detergent
2/3 cup powdered household cleaner
1 quart liquid laundry bleach
1 gallon water
For best results, start at the bottom of the house and work up. Rinse the
cleaning solution completely before it dries. If your house has brick facing,
cover the brick (and landscaping) so that it is not affected by the runoff.
CAUTION: Do not exceed the recommended concentrations of cleaners; to
do so may cause damage to the siding. Avoid skin and eye contact with
cleaning solutions.
