How to Remove Raw Egg Stains From Stucco

Eggs can stain many surfaces, including stucco and vinyl.

Raw eggs are a common weapon of choice for pranksters, especially around the Halloween season. The hoodlums hurl them at your home until the exterior of your house is covered in raw eggs. The eggs can dry on exterior surfaces -- such as stucco -- and stain it. With a few common and inexpensive household items, you can remove the raw egg stains and restore the look of your stucco.

Things You'll Need

• Soft-bristled scrub brush
• Bucket
• Liquid dish soap
• Washing soda
• Borax
• Wooden spoon
• Water hose

Instructions

1. Remove chunks of raw egg and shell from the stucco by brushing it off with a soft-bristled scrub brush.

2. Fill a bucket with 1 gallon of warm water. Add two to three drops of liquid dish soap, 1/2 cup of washing soda and 1/2 cup of borax to the water. Mix the contents with a wooden spoon.

3. Dampen the raw egg stains with a water hose. Saturate a scrub brush in the mixture. Scrub the raw egg stains with the scrub brush.

4. Continue saturating the scrub brush and scrubbing the raw egg stains until the stains are no longer visible on the stucco.

5. Rinse the stucco clean with a water hose. Allow the stucco to air-dry.
