What is best way to remove deck stain from vinyl siding?
One of my workers accidentally got a dark red stain on a customers vinyl siding. it's a 10 foot by 10 foot area. I tried to powerwash it and even used a stain stripper and all it seemed to do was make it dull. I also used an sos pad and a bristle brush but they wouldn't get into the grooves. Is there any other sort of fix I can do that would remedy this problem? some sort of white vinyl paint or something really good at getting out stain?
Answer:
You have two options here.
First option would be to replace the siding. A 10 x 10 area would be one square, you will probably need a bit more due to the way the panels are staggered. Sounds like the siding is white, $50-90 for materials, depending upon the brand and grade of siding. If you are capable of doing the work yourself, this may be your best option to make the customer happy.
Second option is a mild abrasive cleaner such as soft scrub. It will work into the texture of the siding better than just a scrubber pad. This will change the sheen of the surface slightly, but no more than you have already done if you used an SOS pad. This is certainly the easiest and least expensive solution, if your customer is agreeable.
Do not use solvents (mineral spirits, WD-40, stain remover and the like) on vinyl siding. It will create a new mess. Depending upon the brand of siding, it may penetrate a bit and leave a discoloration that you can't remove, you will be stuck with replacing the siding at that point.
