bug stains on vinly

15 years ago

The white vinyl siding around my front porch light is covered in bug stains. I have tries using the spray cleaner that you attach to a garden hose and it did exactly nothing. Any suggestions on how to clean this besides using a spray on cleaner such as "409" and a sponge?

The garden hose spray cleaners will take off surface dirt, but my experience is that to really clean vinyl, you need the friction of a cloth or sponge or one of those pads on a long pole. Then, most any cleaning product will work - Mr Clean, 409, Greased Lightning, etc.
