Cleaning mildew off of vinyl siding.

[Tobin S.]

I learned how to do it from the following youtube video. It's a pretty simple deal. The guy in the video is a professional handyman and charged about $215 for the job featured in the video. I had a larger area to clean and I did it for about $25 and some sweat. I had to buy a bucket, a long handled brush, a pair of rubber gloves, some bleach, and some soap. It took me about an hour. I may also have to invest in a couple of aspirin for my shoulders, but it was well worth it.

1. Buy some beer and sponge it off.

2. No beer today.

I am going to treat myself to a Skyline 5-Way, though, as a reward. You know about Skyline, don't you? I was thinking that you are familiar with my area of the world.

Next up is the front door. It needs painting in a bad way.

3. Agh! My wife never mentioned Skyline to me.

Even though our first date was at White Castle in New Castle.

Now I wonder what else she's been hiding from me.

4. I've been to Skyline

It's not bad, but if you're ever cruisin' down highway 66, I think Ike's chili in Tulsa is better. Same sort of style. Been there over 100 years.

5. 10-4 on that, partner.

I'll check 'er out if I find myself over that way.

6. Another good place not far from there is the White River Fish Market

Been there almost as long.

Best damn gumbo I've ever had, and I've had gumbo all up and down the gulf.

7. Just cleaned it a week ago; took a helluva lot longer than 30 minutes

Mildew on masonite siding on the north side of the house: Gets little to no sun from September to May. Stubborn stuff.

All the king's house cleaners, brushes and pressure washers only managed to clean the siding at the rate of a few square feet every half hour. Major pain in the ass.

8. 10-4. I guess that's an advantage to having vinyl siding.

It took me an hour to do the north side of my house. I would estimate about 350 square feet.
