We having vinyl siding in which it is shaded until about 3 in the afternoon. Just wondering what anyone has used to clean theirs and does bleach work or will it dry out the siding?

I pour bleach in a pump sprayer, like one of those at Lowes,
you can get to spray bugs (about $10.00) fill it up, pump and pull the trigger. I’ll spray one side of house, then rinse with water hose that has a sprayer on it. Or you can use a pressure washer
after you spray house. I do this about every summer. It doesn’t hurt the siding.

Go to your local hardware store. They sell special enzymatic cleaners made specifically for vinyl siding.
You can spray on easily with a garden hose adapter, let it soak for a few minutes then rinse with water.
I do the above, but I use a high psi power sprayer instead of a garden hose. I rinse once with plain water to loosen and dirt, apply the cleaner, then rinse again.
Works great.
I would avoid using bleach as it may kill your landscaping.

Home Depot or Lowe’s has special cleaners for siding. They are about $6 and it is just like the outdoor Windex. You just hook it up to your garden hose. Works great. NEVER use a power washer on siding as it can creat holes in the siding.

Use a power washer. There is an inlet line so you can use soap or bleach or both. You can rent one to use for a day.

I used a vinyl siding wash. It attaches to your waterhose. You can purchase this at home improvement stores such as Lowe’s. Wal-Mart also has this product.
