That’s what Julio, our Boston Home Center instructor, said during Painting class.

Julio’s house was clad in vinyl when he bought it. I was interested to hear what he had to say about vinyl siding maintenance. Each year, he fills a bucket of water with a drop of detergent and some tsp (tri-sodium-phosphate) and wipes down the grim from his siding. I noticed our back porch was looking quite grimy.

Since that was the one place where we like to spend time lounging, I wanted to clean it up. An hour and three buckets later.
