Jomax House Cleaner & Mildew Killer Is Best For Cleaning Vinyl Siding

by Rob
(Musk, MI)

Rob shared a quick recommendation for Jomax House Cleaner & Mildew Killer.

Rob says:

Mix this product with bleach and water, wet the siding, and then spray on the solution.


Then, power wash it off.

No scrubbing, and the dirt and mildew falls off!

It's the best product ever!!!

Taylor says:

Thanks Rob for this recommendation. He told me about the product when I asked what tips people had for cleaning vinyl siding.

I didn't know much about this product so after Rob wrote to me about it, I checked it out and wanted to share more about it with you.

What I found is that this is a product that is designed to remove dirt and also mold and mildew from exterior non-porous surfaces, including most painted surfaces.

It can be used on both vinyl or aluminum siding, and also on painted or stained wood siding, your deck, fences, painted and stained stucco, and concrete.

What you do is mix the Jomax with water and bleach (80% water, 15% chlorine bleach and 5% Jomax). (The instructions give exact measurements for how much of each thing to use when making various amounts of the mixture.)

The cleaner contains a mildewcide, bleach activator and detergents, and claims that it better cleans and kills mildew and mold better than just bleach alone.

You mix the ingredients together and apply using a garden sprayer. You spray the surface liberally, wait 5 minutes, and then rinse off well (it is recommended that you rinse with a pressure washer).

Normally the idea is that you don't have to scrub, but the instructions state that you may need to do some scrubbing if the surface is textured.

One thing I like about it, is that it says that it is safe (when used as directed) near plants and shrubs, since cleaning your siding shouldn't kill all your landscaping!



I would love to hear from more people who've used this product, sharing how it worked for you, either good or bad. You can share your review here for this or any other vinyl siding cleaner (or read other reviews already submitted).

Further, I'd also love to know how it worked on some of the other surfaces I also mentioned above, such as on a wood deck, concrete, or other types of siding!

Finally, you can check out more reviews of mildew cleaners here for use all around your home, if you've got mold and mildew troubles. If you've used a product to clean your home exterior of these fungi please tell me how you did it.

Easier Than Bleach Alone For Mildew, But Expensive

by Joe Pressureman

It works good with pressure washing, makes the dirt and mildew come off faster and easier than bleach alone, but it's expensive.

I found it necessary to add extra bleach, more than what it says for stronger stains.

Best thing for the plants is to hose them off or run the sprinklers after to rinse them of residue.

For rust stains an acid cleaner is better. Jomax does almost nothing for rust, but most acid cleaners can cause damage to paint and eat at concrete unlike Jomax.

Using JoMax House Cleaner Was No Better Than Using Water

by Janet Koski
(Washburn, MO)

Janet says:

I used almost an entire container of JoMax and it was like spraying my home with plain water.

Before using I shook the container well as instructed and did everything according to directions but the mildew spots stayed.

What a waste of time and money.

Taylor says:

Sorry to hear that Janet, but thank you for taking the time to write in and tell me that.

Now I've heard two conflicting reports about this product, one positive and one negative.

I would love to hear from even more people who've used this house cleaner, sharing how it worked for them. Further, I would love to also hear suggestions for other products that you've used to clean your vinyl siding that you thought did work. You can share your reviews and experiences here, or read others that have already been submitted.
