Removing pine siding.

Apply primer to the panels. Scrub any stubborn sap spots with a soft bristle brush. Use a pry bar to lift each piece up and pull it away from the wall. It appears to make mildew vanish but on porous surfaces such as wood or vinyl siding chlorine evaporates too quickly to get to the fungi s roots guaranteeing regrowth.

Work down from the roofline taking on one 10 foot square section at a time. Caulk the joints and any nail holes paint the panels typically with two coats. Apply the cleaner directly on the sap present on the vinyl siding or onto a soft rag or sponge. At 46 inches in.

Remove that cut out strip to get access to both tongue and groove edges of that board. Chlorine can also damage foliage and stain clothing.

Let the chemical stand for five to 10 minutes then blot the sap thoroughly with the rag or sponge to remove the substance.
