Stain on vinyl siding

Featured Replies

Is there anything that will take minwax wood stain off of vinyl siding?

Maybe that citrus type paint remover. JUST GUESSING!

 

Try it in an inconspicuous place to make sure it doesn't damage the siding. Maybe a toothbrush to help, depending on the area??

sure at the expense of the siding...

try orange hand leaner and or hand cream...

paint thinner is about the safest solvent...

clean that up w/ orange hand leaner and or hand cream...

plan on a lightened spot on the siding...

see the PDF on solvents for the risky plan ''B''..

How long has it been on there?   Did you try pressure washing it?

that injects water behind the siding which could beget mold...

The bad news is that I  never, ever, found a way to get Minwax stain off of vinyl siding (don't ask how I know about this). I finally gave up and just replaced the section with a piece of spare vinyl I had left over.

The auto parts stores carry plastic cleaners/polishers for automotive headlights and trim and may be worth a try.

change the siding...

you could also try some cutting compound and a buffer on the end of your drill.
