Bye Bye Mildew

I decided to treat myself this summer with some new deck furniture. I found the perfect set and was excited to get it home and begin relaxing in my new outdoor lounge. As I sat enjoying the warm weather, my dream world slowly fizzled when I noticed the mold and mildew growing on the north side of my house - right in the middle of my "no kid" zone. I just couldn't relax while looking at the green, hairy stuff growing out from my vinyl siding.

So...I needed something that was easy to use, didn't require hours of scrubbing and would get rid of the green so I could enjoy my summer evenings.  JOMAX House Cleaner & Mildew Killer by Zinsser was the solution.  It  comes in a concentrate and makes 20 gallons of cleaner.  Perfect!

Items needed:  garden sprayer, CHECK; bleach, CHECK; water, CHECK. All I had to do was mix, spray, wait 5 minutes and rinse off. It truly was just that simple. As I sprayed JOMAX on my siding, the dirt and mildew instantly ran down the house and I sprayed it clean.  There were a few spots that needed a bit of scrubbing but not really that many. The only issue I had was the slippery ladder -- wet shoes on an aluminum ladder drenched with water was not a good plan. Maybe I'll wear water shoes next time.

Now that JOMAX has taken care of my creepy mildew, I can enjoy my new outdoor lounge for the rest of the summer. JOMAX kills mold and mildew and removes dirt and stains without scrubbing on most exterior, painted , non-porous surfaces such as aluminum, vinyl and wood siding and trim, stained or painted decks and fences, stucco, brick and painted concrete or cement block.
