SH on Dryvit

We had a small job last night and came across some Dryvit (it could be stucco, but I think it's dryvit) columns and edging that we just could not get clean. It was painted cream and has some black dirt that just won't come out. Does SH work well on Dryvit? we haven't tried SH as of yet.

I'm sorry, no pics. I went along to take pics last night and forgot the camera :crying:

We've had sucess with simple green and some elbow grease with a rag. If it's painted like you said, you don't need any dwell time, just spray it on and start cleaning it off with the rag.
 
If you are still having trouble use a soft bristled brush with a little SH. Make sure it's diluted or you can lighten the color.

Thank you for the tip Mark :)
 
No, it seems to be dirt run off from rains and snow melts. We were washing under a large built out awning with 5 round pillars to support it.
This was found at the top edges of the pillars and streaking downwards.
It is also on the lower edges. It would look the same if you through a bunch of dust at stucco, right in all the grooves, only baked on almost.

We did manage to get some of it off, but it is in there really good. Our Soap concoction would not take off anymore and in a few areas we left it to dwell for at least half an hour with little difference.

I believe that it has gotten right into the pores in most areas, I took a brush to it with little difference.

I've been kicking myself since 10 o'clock last night for not having the camera!

It is pretty common I believe, Jerry says it won't come out. I on the other hand figure that there has to be a way and I'm pretty sure that this is the place to find it :)

Tony is onto something there. Some of those streaks are similar to the streaks that gutters get on them, and bleach alone will not remove it. You need a cleaner with a butyl in it.

it will come out, just downstream your 12.5% with some soap and let it dwell for 5 to 10 minuites and rinse (its just mildew I am sure)
 
we have never had problem with it change the side color
 
I have had it lighten up in areas with heavy mold. But i used a pumpup to apply my mix and it was a "tad" strong. there was lil spots where ever mist landed. but when i washed the house, the mix made all the house the same shade.
