Does anybody know how to remove the deep vine roots from aluminum siding?

SLS Construction & Building Solutions LLC · Answer

cut the vines & let them die and dry up - now you can remove them easier with hopefully little damage. After this is done spray & scrub

Is what you removed Ivy? If so it needs to be moistened and a scrub bush.

If it is the little round 'feet' with an attached fibre that you have (left from the plant holding on to the siding) you may need to get a razor or xacto knife blade to scrape them off. I usually use a blade from one of those retractible mat knives; you can run a piece of masking tape along the non-sharp edge to make it easier to hold & keep the segments from snapping apart.

After that, why not forget the stains and put on a layer of paint?

Power washing should do the trick to get off any stains once the vines are removed.

Debbie · Answer

I have power washed, sprayed with everything I know of, scrubbed, and power steamed. The stains are still there. Thanks for the suggestions.

Go to pool company and get a jug of liquid chlorine than purchase Dawn Liquid Dish Detergent (Basic No other flavors) and water. Mix in a pump sprayer and spray stains, let sit for a few minutes (about 15) then rinse off with pressure washer. You might have to repeat the method a couple of times but it works for almost anything on siding..

Hello,

You can try to sand them, but in my experience you have to wait until they can be brushed off when dry!
