Kids will have their fun regardless
of who they hurt and what they damage, that's why you'll often hear of
homeowners complaining about egg stains on their exterior wall. These incidents
are more common than you think, and they mostly happen when schools are closed.
If your house has been “egged”,
there's no guarantee that the stain will be removed completely after you hose down
your wall. Eggs can damage paint, and unless it's wiped off before the egg
dries, the damage could be permanent.
Now that you understand this, it's
important that you call a pressure-washing company as soon as you discover that
your house has been egged. Better yet, have a power washer handy so you can
immediately clean the mess yourself. Just be sure to use the appropriate
setting so you won't end up peeling the paint or denting the surface. Ideally,
you should keep the washer nozzle at least a foot away from your siding or
wall.
Since egg is protein, you might also
try using an enzyme-containing detergent. Most detergents already contain
enzymes, but check the ingredients just to be sure. Add a little cold water to
the detergent to make a paste, then apply to the egged area. Once the stain is
removed, rinse the area thoroughly.
