Artillary Fungus (Black Dots) on siding

Tim Teed · SoftWash Systems 5-Star Professional

I haven't found anything to remove. I always point it out to customer and advise him that we can't remove it.

Mr clean magic eraser and some good Ole elbow grease.

J racenstien sells an artillery fungus remover. I used it this summer and it worked well. Only required very minimal scrubbing with magic eraser

Thank you so much John, I will have to try this.

There are huge sections that are covered (15feet x 10feet), would you only recommend a magic eraser? or would some very stiff brush do the trick to scrub them off with?

Magic eraser

Runs about $30 gal! Works pretty good,But still require some elbow grease!

That chemical is designed to only work on the fungus if it's 2 weeks old. I'm sure it would work if you catch it within 2-5 months. Anything older than that will still leave a halo behind.

Always good to hear more about this terrible stuff. Expectations with customer. Managed to score a total planting bed replacement at one house we cleaned. White house with bark mulch all around it. Yikes. Now it is a white house with beautiful stone all around it. Magic Eraser and finger nail. :)

Hey John - got a name for that fungus remover. Did a search on JRacensteins site but couldn't locate it.
