Cleaning Aluminum Siding And Gutters

All the grime should flow right off.

Cleaning aluminum siding and gutters. Spray a five to ten foot section at a time because otherwise the gutters may dry before you have cleaned them. Cream of tartar otherwise known in the science world as potassium hydrogen tartrate is another slightly acidic and useful cleaner. A stabilizer bar is a good choice because it will keep the ladder s weight on the roof or wall and off the gutter. Rinse and dry for a lustrous finale.

Turn the nozzle to rinse and give them a thorough shower. Gutter cleaning requires working from a ladder so be careful of the ladder s footing and how much weight is placed on the gutter. If mold or mildew is the culprit spraying with a bleach solution will remove it. It s not uncommon to have a mildew problem on aluminum siding depending on where you live.

Be careful of electrical lines and trees. Create an aluminum polishing paste from cream of tartar and water. Rinse the gutters with a hose. To clean aluminum siding having mildew use a solution of one part bleach and four parts water.

Spray this mixture on remaining spots.
