You can use white vinegar to remove water, mineral deposits, and rust on nearly everything. Try it on your siding. And only use the white vinegar as it's the strongest.Helpful Reply -

Table vinegar, either white or apple cider is typically 5% acidity. "Cleaning vinegar" is typically 6% acidity - yes that 1% makes a difference. And "agricultural vinegar" is 10% - 20% acidity, (not recommended for this project.) Make a paste with vinegar and baking soda and scrub away, and rinse immediately. Cover your plants and have a hose ready as vinegar will kill anything it comes in contact with - hence the paste and immediate rinsing, less liklihood of harming your plants. Do a test patch first, then proceed.If not too bad, Dawn original and a scrubbie sponge might work too.Good luck! Fingers crossed to you.Helpful Reply -
