Customer Reviews

Not much better than water
I bought Krud Kutter to use in cleaning the vinyl siding on my house prior to having new windows installed. The cleaning solution did little more to clean the surface than the water that was applied using the Rinse setting on the hose-end sprayer. I ran out of Krud Kutter before I finished the job and used some liquid laundry detergent to finish. It did about as well as the Krud Kutter.
Good product
A very good cleaner for vinyl siding; easy to use and really cuts into the dirt. First time using I'd buy a second bottle to ensure you get the whole job done as you'll go through it pretty quickly. But if you've ever used it before on whatever your cleaning, a bottle per the square footage on the instructions should be good enough.
Basic cleaning
It seemed to do a very basic cleaning getting quite a bit of the mold and gunk up. It did not get everything up, but I don't know what I was expecting from a spray on cleaner. But it did loosen up quite a bit for easy cleaning later.

Amazing Product
The best cleaner you can buy. It works like pure acid. So ALWAYS wear gloves and maybe a mask if your not in a well ventilated area. Its STRONG. You spray it on anything and it will take little elbow grease to get it clean. I personally use it to clean my Wheels on my car. IT works great. JUST REMEMBER TO WEAR GLOVES AS IT IS SUPER CORROSIVE. Your pretty much using Drano to clean.

Your new to-do list

Today's homes are filled with components that weren't so common years ago. They make your home more efficient and less work. You can't ignore them entirely, though. So, as you plan your chores and projects for the coming year, here are some to keep in mind. </p><p> Limestone/marble:</p><p> These ancient materials are more popular than ever. Not all stones need sealing. Ask your stone pro. Buy the best sealers you can afford. Grit and acids are the biggest threats to marble and limestone. So:</p><p> Clean surfaces with a few drops of neutral cleaner, stone soap (available at hardware stores) or a mild liquid dish detergent and warm water. Go easy on the cleaner or soap, because too much can leave a film. Rinse thoroughly and dry.</p><p> Do not use abrasive cleaners, or ones with lemon, vinegar or other acids. </p><p> For deep stains, try a poultice at www.marble-institute.com/consumers.</p><p> Treated crawl space/attic:</p><p> Closed, or sealed, crawl spaces are touted as efficient - and healthy - alternatives to the traditional vented crawl spaces. They're certainly drier and cleaner and brighter, so you shouldn't mind sticking your head under your house from time to time. And you absolutely should, experts say. Don't ignore this chore.</p><p> Check regularly to make sure no moisture is getting in. If there's a dehumidifier, make sure it's working. </p><p> Look for condensation. And "If you see standing water, you have a real problem," Charlotte, N.C., home inspector Bob Boucek said. </p><p> More complete inspections and repairs are best left to experts. Check your attic, too.</p><p> Vinyl windows:</p><p> Vinyl windows are tough, and extremely popular. They should get a yearly inspection.</p><p> Clean window tracks of debris, says Burt Harold, a rep for Pella Windows. Make sure weather stripping is sound and making proper contact. Replace as needed.</p><p> When cleaning, never use abrasives. That can damage the vinyl skin of the window. If you need to lubricate a track, use pure silicone spray, not WD-40.</p><p> Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for caulking. When washing windows, be cautioned that bleach can discolor dark vinyl colors. And, remember, window films can void your window warranty. </p><p> HardiePlank/fiber cement siding:</p><p> It won't rot. It holds paint. And it's very durable. It's the siding of choice on many new homes Often called HardiePlank, it's almost trouble-free. Still, inspect annually.</p><p> If caulking fails, water can penetrate the joint and damage the wood and framing behind the siding. If you're going to check your home's exterior less often, says Charlotte home inspector Dave Hahn, use caulk rated for at least 20 years, and longer is better. Choose a quality silicone or polyurethane.</p><p> Fiberglass doors:</p><p> Minor dents can be filled with auto body putty. Follow the instructions on the can and, just as if you were working on a car, don't stint on the sanding. Uneven spots will show. For larger areas, cut out damaged fiberglass with a grinder. Repair with mat and resin from fiberglass repair kit. Prime, then paint. with 100 percent acrylic.</p><p> Stainless steel:</p><p> Stainless steel is hot for kitchens because it looks good, resists rust and cleans easily. The biggest complaint about stainless is that the fridge shows all those little handprints.</p><p> Clean with a specialty product such as 3M Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish. Such products create a barrier against fingerprints.</p><p> Avoid products with chlorine; mild abrasives can scratch. Read labels.</p><p> Multihead showers:</p><p> There are six times as many connections that can leak, six times as many shower heads that can clog. Check regularly and clean with CLR or some other solution. You can use white vinegar to clear a shower head that has been clogged with mineral deposits. Place vinegar in a plastic bag, enclose the head and secure the bag to the shower neck with a rubber band or twist tie. Let stand for at least two hours. </p><p> Composite decking:</p><p> Early on, composite decking was billed as a trouble-free - and chemical-free - alternative to treated lumber. You still have to clean it.</p><p> The best way to prevent stains is to sweep or hose off regularly.</p><p> To wash, use a commercial composite deck cleaner. Jomax is one popular brand. </p><p> For stubborn stains, allow solution to sit for a few minutes and scrub with a bristle brush. </p><p> Be careful with power washers. Some decking manufacturers recommend against them, and using one can void your warranty. Other makers suggest smaller washers with no more than 1300 PSI, with the fan tip no closer than 8 to 10 inches from the surface.</p><p> The best known maker of composite decking, Trex, recommends that you wash your deck twice a year, in spring and fall, to prevent mold and mildew.</p><p> The pros' advice:</p><p> If you've invested in expensive technology consider protecting your investment with regular service by a professional. Builders, inspectors and other experts say that's always wise. Don't let the contract lapse.</p><p> Follow the manufacturer's advice for care and service. </p><p> Owner's manuals are online. Just check the product for a model name or number, and go to the company site. The manual should answer most questions. Many have helpful pictures, and there's usually a toll-free hotline on which an expert (if you're patient) can answer questions.
