I thought I saw a thread on this already, but heat stroke and fumes have decreased my search abilities.
I decided to use some of this day off from work to finally clean the vinyl on the front of my house. Height and lack of motivation were my main obstacles. Well, I have two ladders and I'm tired of it looking like crap, so here we are.
The gear I'm using:
Goggles
Respirator mask
Ladders
Back pack sprayer (4 gal.)
Plastic sheeting
Scissors
Cell phone (with 91 dialed in and my thumb hovering over the 1 in case I slip)
The concoction in the back pack sprayer:
32 oz. of TSP
A half gallon of bleach
The remainder of the sprayer topped off with water.
Prep work involved:
Mix the stuff
Cover the wife's shrubs with plastic sheeting
Move the ladders in place
Don glasses and mask
Slip into the back pack sprayer while singing the Ghostbusters song
Spray and pray
Part way through:
Unfortunately, I'm going to have to get on the roof to get the highest point. I decided to make this post before I did, just in case. My daughter is napping. I told her if I fall off the roof, I'll try not to wake her.
Oh, the other stuffs referenced in the title is camper fabric. I wish I had before and after pics and I've since sold the camper, but this same mixture worked awesome at cleaning mildew stains from it when I allowed water to get in and sit for six months.
