Soak the towel in the mixture and place the towel on the egg-stained area. If the stains have been there overnight, allow the mixture to sit on the stains for an hour. Keep the towel in place by propping a ladder up against it. If the towel starts to dry while sitting on the stains, soak it in the mixture again and place back on the stained area.

Tips & Warnings
You can also use a pressure washer to remove egg stains from your house. Make sure you get the correct pressure washer for your house's exterior to avoid damage. If the pressure washer is too forceful, it can strip paint and ruin siding.
If your house is wood or aluminum, you may need to repaint the areas.
Hydrogen peroxide can be used in place of the vinegar and water solution; however, hydrogen peroxide does act as a bleaching agent and may affect the color of the house. Test an inconspicuous area of the house prior to tackling egg stains using this method.
