Re: Painting Stucco exterior
Forgive me if it seems like I'm hijacking this thread but there was an earlier mention of Clorox and vinyl siding. I remember when the builder did our walk-through, he mentioned that someone had cleaned their siding with Clorox and then tried to get Warranty to replace the siding because it took a lot of the color off. Now of course, this story has been retold and who know 1) if it's true; 2) was it a 50% mix of Clorox; or 3) maybe theyleft the Clorox on too long and between the bleach and the Sun, it bleached out the color. In any case, Ace Hardware recommended Simple Green which I've used diluted in a bucket of water and a soft car-wash type brush. The Simple Green took off the dirt and mildew from the siding and no effect on the color. I do use a heavy Clorox solution to clean mold from around the tub area in NY, although I hear there are better products for that as well. George
