Might check a marine supply or camper RV store for mildew removers & retardants & see if they are safe for vinyl.
Pretty sure the siding cleaners as mentioned do not contain strong bleaches which can cause it to go brittle.
Had a boat & have vinyl siding that gets a little mossy in places & use a siding cleaner & power washer.
No kidding, it could also be spider poop In which case a good washing will do.
Best regards

Living in a humid climate - my place gets some light mold on one side of the vynal siding. A freinds’ suggestion of using ‘Krud Kutter’ and a scrub brush, rinsing with water- cleaned all of it from the vynal easily - also worked great on cleaning the front porch off.

I didn’t think mold could grow on vinyl siding. But if you wash with a bleach solution and it disappears, then it’s mold.

Probably mildew……..use a solution of bleach and water to clean it.

Yes it is mold. Use chlorine bleach mixed with water to remove it.

It could be mold if it is on a side of the house that does not get full sun all day. You can clean it with siding cleaner that has a mildew deterant. Best to use a pressure washer for quick results.
