How can I remove rust stains from exterior vinyl siding?

Posted by admin
Caroline H asked:


My window air conditioner dripped outside and left rust stains down our vinyl siding - I just tried power washing it with siding cleaner and I also used a Mr. Clean Magic eraser; neither worked all the way - it may be stained in to the siding. Any ideas of how to remove it or cover it? The siding is white. Thanks for any help!

      Go to your dry cleaner, ask him to sell you some rust out remover

      Or a window - glass shop?

      I used CLR on my siding that was stained from untreated well water in the sprinklers. It also worked well on the masonary skirting below the siding.
