The short version: dust or vacuum first to remove grit, then damp mop with a pH-neutral, vinyl-safe cleaner, never a steam mop or harsh chemicals like bleach and ammonia.

In coastal environments like Mobile, Alabama, the aesthetic and structural condition of a commercial facility is constantly challenged by environmental variables. The combination of high humidity, intense UV exposure, and airborne salt particles creates a unique set of challenges for building exteriors.
