How to Remove Shaving Cream Stains from Vinyl Siding

Matthew asked: How do I clean shaving cream from vinyl siding? There was an incident where shaving cream was sprayed onto 8-year-old vinyl siding. It was initially rinsed off with water, but the shaving cream has left its mark on the siding. I am not sure what type of shaving cream was used, so I have no idea of the ingredients. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Whether it’s a Halloween prank or just an honest accident, removing shaving cream can be a real nuisance. It has a tendency to cling when dried, so the sooner you can treat the stain, the easier it will be to remove.
