Cleaning your siding and trim
Please follow these recommendations on caring for your James Hardie
products. Damage to siding and trim arising from improper cleaning or
maintenance may not be covered by the James Hardie warranty.
Follow these recommendations to clean the exterior of your home and
to help maintain the beauty and value of your James Hardie siding.
Wash down the exterior surfaces every 6 to 12 months with a
garden hose to remove dirt and debris, gently clean the siding
with the soft brush or wet soft cloth in a side to side motion in the
direction of the plank siding. TIP: Clean by working small sections
at a time, starting your way down to prevent dripping or streaking
onto the cleaned area.
A low pressure water spray* and a soft medium bristle (nonmetal)
brush is most suitable for cleaning fiber cement products. Acid
and high pressure washing can damage the fiber cement surface
and is not recommended.
