    Hi Sho, Call your local Home Depot or Lowe's, and ask for the paint department. Tell them you have siding which is white with brown stain, see what they recommend for vinyl. I think, possibally you can attach something that is a vinyl cleaner to your outside hose. You might have to do it by hand, or buy vinyl paint.

    You could try WD-40 first. I removed a stain off of vinyl siding with it.

    You may have to try scraping it off. If you use one of the glass scrapers with the blade you should be able to get most of it off.

    Try using Goof Off, or mineral spirits.

    I doubt if its been on there that long you could get the stain out, you are better off taking a bit of primer and get paint color matched to you white and touch it up. I think you would need an alkyd based paint for vinyl but check with your paint department based on your type of siding.

    Hi Gary, hope this helps you. Clean, Soft Scrub, isopropyl alcohol (denatured or rubbing alcohol), or lacquer thinner. To remove any stubborn stain from the vinyl surface of your window, use Barkeeper's friend. This mild abrasive usually removes any marks, but it can leave a white film that can be removed with de-natured alcohol.

    Mineral spirits, high content rubbing alcohol, Citristrip paint remover, nail polish remover.
