cleaning siding
What can we use to clean white aluminum and vinyl siding? We have both.
The spider poop is really hard to get off. Don't want to use something that will damage the siding. We tried the Mr.Clean Magic Erasers and that took most off, but it's like the siding is stained now. TIA Carolyn |

You'll have to experiment for the mixture strength, so try it on a hidden area first if you can. (read the label) Don't leave it on to long either. |

If you mechanically clean it too much, you get rid of the self-sluffing feature, and take the siding down to the base plastic. Have you damaged the coating? later, tom @ www.CarFleaMarket.com |

An Aluminum Siding Cleaner could be a best choice for your vinyl sidings. You might have to use some kind of air powered brush, but you might have to be careful with it. It could damage the vinyl sidings.

Anyway, all you can do, as far as I understand, is to blow the dust off and that's it...

Simple Green works very well cleaned almost everything for me. You will Need to test mixture strength, so try in an inconspicuous place First of all, if you can. (read labels) do not give it long term.

I agree with Steveo. The pressure washer will get almost anything. If you get a gas powered one you can get different attachments for the nozzle that can change the pressure of the water and what type of soap it uses. |
