Care and Maintenance
Important: Fire Safety Information
While CertainTeed Cedar Impressions
siding resists most common household
stains like oil and grease, it will become
dirty like any other product that is
exposed to atmospheric conditions.
Chalk may also accumulate on the
surface. This is a normal condition for
all pigmented materials which are
constantly exposed to sunlight and the
elements. Soil, grime and chalk can be
removed with your garden hose and a
bucket of soapy water. If especially
stubborn stains cannot be removed with
normal household detergents, request a
cleaner from your contractor. Always test
any cleaner on an inconspicuous area
before full use. Siding products should
not be cleaned with a power washer.
Mold and mildew may be a problem in
some areas. They may appear as black,
gray or green spots on surface dirt and are
usually first detected in areas not subject
to rainfall, such as under eaves and porch
enclosures. Mold and mildew can be
removed with the following solution:
Mix together: 1⁄3 cup of detergent
(Tide, for example), 2⁄3 cup of Trisodium
Phosphate (SoilMax, for example), one
quart of 5% Sodium Hypochlorite
(Clorox, for example) and three quarts of
water. (Caution: Greater concentrations
may cause damage to vinyl siding.)
If the above solution does not readily
remove the mold or mildew, request a
mold and mildew-type cleaner from
your contractor.
NOTE: The chemical agents referenced
above may be hazardous to the user or
to the environment. Please follow all
precautions and warnings on the product
label, particularly those which may be
necessary to prevent personal injury.
Always dispose of these chemical agents
in a manner prescribed by the manufacturer.
If you are unsure how to use or how to
properly dispose of these chemical agents,
please contact the manufacturer of these
products for instructions.
Cedar Impressions products require
little maintenance for many years.
Nevertheless, common sense dictates
that builders and suppliers of these
products store, handle and install
these materials in a manner that avoids
damage to the product and/or the
structure. Owners and installers should
take a few simple steps to protect siding
products from fire.
Rigid siding products are made from
organic materials and will melt or burn
when exposed to a significant source
of flame or heat. Building owners,
occupants and 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
siding products.
