Cleaning Aluminum or Vinyl Siding

Mix in a pump-up sprayer:

• 3 quarts warm water
• 1 quart liquid bleach
• 2/3 cup TSP (trisodium phosphate)
• 1/3 cup liquid dishwashing detergent

Wear protective clothing, goggles, and rubber gloves before spraying the siding with the mixture (apply from the bottom up to avoid streaks). Allow the cleaner to remain on the siding for 10 minutes, then hose it off.
