Remove deck stain from aluminum siding.

Repaint any areas where the remover took off the paint. Sponge or old cloths. It is not an uncommon occurrence for deck stain to splatter onto vinyl siding during application. Restain wooden siding when finished by using a matching color stain.

Follow the guidelines below to get the job done. Choose a cleaner specifically for oil based or water based product removal because a product designed to remove one type of deck stain may not work on. Stain can be spilled or splattered onto siding and when you re staining an attached deck or a nearby fence wind and weather can spread the stain to your vinyl siding. Remove the most difficult stains with a contractor grade exterior cleaner designed to remove paint tar wood stain and other common construction and remodeling products from exterior surfaces.

To remove the stain you must strip the color off of the siding. Wipe it on let it sit and wipe it off to achieve a matching color. I recommend using a spray nozzle with an angled setting and working from the top down. Give your aluminum siding a good rinse with the hose first.

Your success in removing deck stain from aluminum siding will depend on how fresh the stain is and whether the siding has the factory finish or has been repainted.
