How to clean "tiger stripes" from gutters

I tried cleaning my gutters today, the front of the gutters after scrubbing & powerwashing have "tiger stripes". I used a regular degreaser which took all the spots and dirt off but left those stripes. Anyone recommend a particular product to really get the gutters clean?

I'd suggest that you try a cotton rag and a quart of denatured alcohol. (it's next to the paint thinner in stores).

Or you could try Greased Lightning or Purple power and a rag.

try oxygenated bleach

try using roof reviver or another oxygenated bleach. You'll probably need to use a bit of elbow grease.

Paint Backside Of Siding ?

R

Robert111 on Aug 06, 2006

Hello: a. Regarding the typical Wood horizontal type of Clapboard siding: Is it desireable to prime the backside of the planks ? Why ? My thought being that it "might" be better to have it un-primed to allow moisture to escape , but am not sure, hence the question. b. The same question, for T1-11 wood panel type of siding. If the answer to either is "yes" to either, is it actually available this way ? From which mfg(s), please ? Thanks, BobRead More

Azek with or without J channel when using vinyl siding

scroat on Aug 07, 2006

Hi... Rookie here. I am going to be installing 1*4 Trim against ny windows. After that I am installing either vertical or horizontal siding. Is it recommended to notch out the trimboard to act as a j channel in place of installing J Channel for the siding, or are the trimboards to be installed with j-channel as well? I've seen the azek be back cut, but this causes the trim to look like it sticks out a great deal where the siding profile becomes thin. Any recommendations will be appreciated.Read More
