✅ Step 1: Mix Your Solution
In a spray bottle or garden sprayer, combine:
- Equal parts bleach and water
- Add a few drops of dish soap (helps it stick to the surface)
✅ Step 2: Apply to the Siding
- Spray the mixture directly onto the algae-covered areas
- Make sure the surface is fully coated
No scrubbing needed.
✅ Step 3: Let It Sit
- Leave it for 10–15 minutes
- You’ll start to see the green color fade away on its own
This is the key step—the solution is doing all the work for you.
✅ Step 4: Rinse with Water
- Use a garden hose to rinse everything off
- Watch the algae disappear, revealing clean siding underneath
💡 Pro Tips for Best Results
- Avoid spraying plants—bleach can damage them
- Clean on a cloudy day to prevent quick drying
- Wear gloves for safety
- Test a small area first
⚠️ Important Note
If the algae is very thick or old, you might need a second application—but still no heavy scrubbing required.
