LPT: easiest way to clean eggs off house siding

r/

House was recently egged. Easiest way to remove the mess from the stucco/siding: Odoban spray and a drill brush (stiff brush) attachment.

Spray the Odoban and let it sit for 10+ minutes and spray periodically while working on the mess to keep the yolks wet. Use the drill brush attachment.

Between eggs, dip the brush attachment in a bucket of water, hold the drill away from you and start the drill to spin/remove excess water. Continue working.

Hope this helps someone in the future, because from what I read online, this could have been a lot more time consuming.

    Just hold your dog up next to the eggs and he’ll lick it off. He likes eggs and he’s determined.

    I found not pissing off the neighborhood kids works pretty well.

    +1 for Odoban. Its basically the same thing as Lysol- but i find it to be less oily/sticky when it dries AND it smells a lot better. ALSO you can put it in your laundry rinse cycle to help deodorize stuff

    A bird’s nest had some eggs fall onto the car — big mess. I grabbed what I had which was some bug/tar remover. It worked like champ! If it is ok on car paint, I suspect it would ok on vinyl or aluminum house siding.

    Shout stain spray works, too.

    Don’t be a dick to your neighbors so you don’t get egged. Let me guess…H.O.A, president?

    Our habit was just point a sprinkler at it for a while, and it sloughs off of most things. Siding, front door, car…
