5. How To Apply The Solution Without Ladders Or Scrubbing
Using a garden sprayer, apply the solution to the affected areas of your siding. Start from the bottom and work your way up to ensure even coverage. The sprayer’s reach means you don’t need a ladder, which makes the process much safer and more convenient.
Make sure to saturate the algae-covered areas thoroughly. The key is to apply enough solution that it can soak into the algae and begin breaking it down. This is where the magic of ‘no-scrub’ really happens.
6. The ‘Let It Sit’ Step That Does All The Hard Work
Once the solution has been applied, the next step is to let it sit. This is perhaps the most critical part of the process. Allow the solution to remain on the siding for at least 20 to 30 minutes. During this time, the vinegar and soap mixture works to break down the algae’s structure.
This is where patience pays off. Resist the urge to start scrubbing or rinsing too early. The longer you allow the solution to sit, the more effective it will be. Some homeowners have found that letting it sit for up to an hour yields even better results, especially for heavy algae growth.
7. Rinsing It All Away: When The Algae Practically Falls Off
After the waiting period, it’s time to rinse away the solution. Using a garden hose with a spray nozzle, simply rinse the siding starting from the top and working your way down. You’ll be amazed at how the algae practically falls off the siding.
The gentle pressure from the hose is usually sufficient to remove the loosened algae, leaving your siding looking clean and fresh. For particularly stubborn spots, a second application and rinse may be necessary, but in most cases, a single treatment will suffice.
