Does anyone have a good way to clean vinyl siding without damaging it? We always mask, but sometimes stuff happens and the worst thing is when it goes unnoticed for a while and stain gets to make a stain...or concrete hardens onto the siding. Both of these have happened to us  and I have yet to find a product or method that gets it all off. We are getting better at masking, though.  |

Here is the list of solutions for removing deck stains, paints, copper and rust stains, etc. off vinyl siding...
Best: clear PVC pipe cleaner, apply with sponge, scrub with non-abrasive pad (like you would use on corningware), let set for a couple of minutes, rinse.
Others...
Goo Gone and SOS pad
Super Iron Out or Rust Out
Orange Goo Gone Hand Cleaner (has pumice in it)
Non-abrasive bathtub cleaners like Soft Scrub
Cleaning solutions you can make up that sometimes work ...
1/3 lb of oxalic acid granules and 1 gallon hot water: wet stain, leave 5 minutes, scrub with non-abrasive pad, rinse
1/3 cup of powdered laundry detergent, 2/3 cup Spic & San, 1 quart bleach, 1 gallon water: wet stain, leave 5 minutes, scrub with non-abrasive pad, rinse.
1 part bleach and 4 parts water.
I have also been told that sometimes a high quality white eraser works wonders (haven't tried this personally).
