How to remove spots from vinyl siding?

August 15, 2010 by  
Filed under vinyl siding

I live in New England. My white vinyl siding has developed small black spots on it. They are about the size of a pin head and are raised. You can scrape the raised portion off and they feel soft but they leave behind a black spot. Nothing seems to remove them. I have tried several cleaners, scrubbing and pressure washing. They are not a mold as bleach products have no effect. Someone said it may be sap from a nearby pine tree but I tried a bug and tar remover with no luck. I was also told that it may be spores from the mulch spread in the flower bed below. Any suggestions?

    Did you try a bleachgel or try leaving a small piece of papertowel stuck over one soaked with bleach and see if more time is needed. Might also try some oxyclean, as is designed to target organic stains. As much as you’ve tried, these are long-shots, but good luck.
