I use the Krud Kutter House Wash to wash my 1999 32ft class A motorhome. The built in water controller works well, allowing alternating wash and rinse to avoid streaking. It is very effective on walls and roof, but does require light scrubbing with a long handled brush prior to rinsing. My motorhome is pretty old and the graphics are faded. To my surprise, the House Wash did not make this worse. Another attribute is that the product does not make the roof slippery, which makes it much safer to be up there. There is some streaking on glass surfaces after drying, but this cleans off easily with glass cleaners - Windex, etc. I have used it twice a year for the last four years.

Thank you for your feedback! For the best results with Rust-Oleum Krud Kutter House Wash, it is important to allow the product to sit on the surface for 5-10 minutes prior to rinsing. On extremely soiled or mildewed surfaces, it may be necessary to scrub with a bristle brush, and a second application may be needed.

That's not what we like to hear! Rust-Oleum Krud Kutter House Wash is safe and effective on most
surfaces. For the best results, we recommend using on a wet surface and allowing the product to work on the surface for 5-10 minutes before rinsing. On extremely soiled or mildewed surfaces, it may be necessary to scrub with a bristle brush, and a second application may be needed. Rustoleum

      Get mold armor brand instead
      I’ve previously had great results with the mold armor brand house wash, but it was sold out, so I got this instead. Followed directions exactly, and scrubbed some with a large push broom while trying to clean my driveway, walkway, and some landscaping bricks. I don’t see any results. In fact, it didn’t even help get some recent bird droppings off one of my bricks...I had to scrub more for that. Since I purchased two bottles of this product, I will be returning the second bottle to a different Home Depot location, which will hopefully have the mold armor brand in stock.

      That's not what we like to hear, Emily! Please keep in mind that more heavily soiled areas may need a second application or require scrubbing. For driveways and masonry surfaces, consider Rust-Oleum Krud Kutter Concrete and Driveway Pressure Washer Concentrate.

            Get a brush.
            Works fine for removing mildew and algae from vinyl siding but you will need to scrub some with a brush to remove heavy stains.

              did not work as advertisied
              No scrubbing! That's for me. I applied as directed. It faded, but did not disappear. It faded. but its still there. I will have to scrub now. I paid more two weeks ago, too! Now its lower in price. Not worth the money. I wish I could submit a picture, but its dark out now.

              Krud Kutter had absolutely no effect on my vinyl siding. Followed the directions to the letter. I only purchased this because "Mold Armor" House Cleaner was sold out. Now I know why.

              Not as good as advertised
              This does not cut crud. And it definitely does not clean. I tried it before, and decided to give it another try, with the same non-results.

                Did nothing
                Did absolutely nothing when I tried to wash the stained stucco and brick facade of our building and mildew stained sidewalk. Was like I had just sprayed water. What a waste of time.

                  Krud Kutter
                  I used Krud Kutter House Wash for the first time. This product did not work as advertised. I actually had to use a brush to finish the job. Will have to go over part of house with Mold Armour. Will not use Krud Kutter again.

                    This was as effective as soap and water. The only thing this did was make it wet when it was sprayed on.

                    That doesn’t sound right, Sam. Krud Kutter House Wash contains a unique additive which removes tough stains from mildew, mold, algae, fungus, and moss and leaves the surface completely clean. Please keep in mind we recommend allowing the product to penetrate the surface for 5-10 minutes without letting it dry for best results. Rustoleum

                      Did good job on the moss and mildew on the north side of our home. The directions were very clear.

After applying the product to the surface it is important to allow it to work for 5-10 minutes, without letting it dry on the surface.

                      Cleaned my Sidings
                      I have a mild case of mildew stain and grimes on my 2 storey home. Hardi plank sidings to be exact. I purchase this product due to Free of bleach. Very easy to use, just follow the instructions. I used 8 ft. ladder for added reach. I let it soak for 10 minutes to maximize it. You have to hit the mildew on spot in order to be remove. To my surprise it cleaned up very good. My only complain is the distance of water squirted on the CLEAN setting. (This is when the cleaner and the water is mixed). Not that far.

We are happy to hear how well the product worked for you and will take your experience and thought into consideration for future product improvements. Please keep in mind that the distance of spray has a lot to do with the pressure of the water hose it is connected with. Rustoleum

                      Does help, but doesn't do what's advertised. Our home is newer vinyl siding, not a lot of dirt or mildew. Does break down the grime but doesn't rinse off, still requires use of a pressure washer.

                      Something is amiss here, Bill. After applying the Krud Kutter House Wash and letting it sit for a few minutes, rinsing the surface with a hose should be sufficient to remove the product and grime from the surface. We want to know more and see what we can do to satisfy your thoughts on this product. Please call us at 877-385-8155 to discuss further. Rustoleum

                        Krud Cutter
                        The product does breakdown the krud , but it doesn't come off without scrubbing with a brush ! The product attached to a regular garden hose doesn't get enough pressure to blow the krud off the surface. I used the product on my homes vinyl siding. The stuff in the bottle works , but the container doesn't !!

                        We are happy to hear that Krud Kutter broke down and removed the krud and grime for you. Please keep in mind, that the pressure that runs through the container comes from the pressure in the hose. Also note, that Krud Kutter House Wash can be applied through a pressure washer for even more pressure and better results. Even with a pressure washer on extremely soiled or mildewed surfaces, it may be necessary to scrub with a bristle brush, and a second application may be needed. Rustoleum

                            good product to clean wood decks for pre staining or just spring clean up.
                            I used Krud Kutter to clean up my redwood decks and work bench prior to restaining the wood. This product will eliminate sanding in many cases before staining. I take pride in my wood working, Krud Kutter is a great help in my work.
