Remove deck stain from aluminum siding.

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. Wipe it on let it sit and wipe it off to achieve a matching color. Spraying at a downward angle prevents water from getting under the aluminum siding and causing problems underneath. Restain wooden siding when finished by using a matching color stain.

Follow the guidelines below to get the job done. Give your aluminum siding a good rinse with the hose first. Sponge or old cloths. I recommend using a spray nozzle with an angled setting and working from the top down.

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. 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. It is not an uncommon occurrence for deck stain to splatter onto vinyl siding during application. Repaint any areas where the remover took off the paint.

If all else fails you can match the siding color and repaint the stained parts of the siding.
