Removing Green Algae From Vinyl Siding


Warm weather is here and its time to get your outdoor property clean to enjoy for the summer. Some homes in different parts of the country experience a green mildew on shaded northern exposed parts of their home. Get a bucket filled with warm water and either some bleach or simple green mixed in. Use a deck brush or soft bristled broom and brush on the solution. Wash it down with your hose or even better a decent power washer.

Make sure not to use soap as when scrubbing the solution on with warm water the vinyl siding expands and when washing it off with cold hose water it shrinks possibly leaving the soap in the vinyl grains. This will leave a chalky white film. Over bleaching can also leave the white film so best choice is Simple Green.
