How to Get Food Coloring Out of Vinyl Siding

Although low-maintenance, vinyl siding is subject to stains. Messy backyard parties involving dye-infused foods such as cake frosting and sugary beverages may lead to vinyl siding becoming stained with food coloring. The longer food coloring stays on vinyl siding, the more difficult the colorful dyes become to clean off. Since the dyes in food coloring transfer such distinct stains onto vinyl siding, remove them before they permeate the vinyl.
