How to Remove Concrete From Vinyl Siding

Concrete can get on the vinyl side from many of the projects you tackle around the home. This can make the siding look unattractive and take away from the beauty of the home. It is better to remove the concrete as soon as it gets on the vinyl siding, especially before it hardens.

• White distilled vinegar


• Clean cloths


• Scrub brush with soft bristles

3. Add one part white sugar and one part warm water in a bowl. Make sure the mixture is thick enough to adhere to the concrete. Apply the mixture to the siding with a plastic scraper. Allow the mixture to sit for 15 minutes.
