Good old elbow grease and soap. Car wash works well. A soft brush on a pole with a large bucket of soap and a hose.
If you have access to a power washer that makes quick work of it as well.
Some home centers, sell vinyl siding cleaner that you spray on the house, wait and then hose off again. You may have some success with that, but elbow grease makes the best cleaning system.
I did that on my 3 story stucco house with a product from home depot called house wash, you hook it to the water hose and just spray away. Was easy and worked great
I tried everything short of a pressure washer or special cleaners,cant afford those..I ended up taking a cheap pressurized garden spray bottle,pouring 1/2 bleach to 1/2 water.pumping it up good every few minutes,and let it work its magic..scrubbing up high is hard for me since I have systemic lupus.I lose my balance and use of my extremities quickly..so I sprayed really good,the eaves and the siding,then came back after a few minutes and hosed it good...looks like new now ^_^ Thanks to all

of you!!!! Sometimes as a homeschooling mom of 6,I get frustrated and feel overwhelmed,but things like this little job,make me feel like I can still do some things without asking for others to do the leg work :)
I clean mold and mildew from my exterior with a hand held sprayer filled with water and about a cup of clorax. Once it's clean and mold free, I them rinse with the garden hose. So far it has not hurt my lawn or flowerbeds which are filled with plants and flowers.
I have found the easiest and most cost effective way is to use Oxiclean -- mix it in a bucket with water and use a rag or long handled brush (RV brush with extending handle works great). It immediately removes the mildew and stains and doesn't harm the vinyl finish. I do my manufactured home twice a year with the method -- easy peasy!
