How to Remove Deck Stain from Aluminum Siding

We wanted to re-stain our back deck and Megan thought is would be easier to use a sprayer. Unfortunately, the siding of our house got caught in the crossfire. We tried many different substances to remove it: paint thinner, turpentine, soft scrub elbow grease... lots of elbow grease... Some of those didn't work at all and the ones that did took a lot of time (about two hours for one square foot.)


Then one day while cleaning the windows Megan stumbled upon a really effective substance... VINEGAR... specifically the one found in window cleaner. It took just a few sprays and a couple of wipes.







Megan doesn't want me dwelling on her mistakes, even though she did find a solution. Anyway, I'd like to add that she did make a lot of improvements to the deck this season. The staining job looks wonderful and she planted numerous number of flowers. The new furniture helped too. Take a look.

Megan,
Help! Do you have the solution for dry erase marker on painted walls and carpeting?

The flowers on your deck are amazing!

Can't wait to try it! Thanks for the tip! We've tried tons of things. I am hoping it will take the stain off of our brick work too! Nice deck and big yard!

I didn't have luck with the Windex. I tried "Spray 9" and it worked like a charm.
