What Customers Are Saying
The Outdoor Cleaner is an effective multi-purpose formula that can clean a variety of outdoor surfaces like siding, concrete, wood, and patio furniture. Many found it removed dirt, grime, mold, and mildew without damaging nearby plants or grass. The product is easy to use - just spray, let sit, then rinse or lightly scrub. While it may require more effort for tougher stains, it generally delivers good results, especially on vinyl siding, decks, and patio furniture. Some found it less effective on concrete or heavily soiled areas, but overall the product received positive reviews for its cleaning power, safety, and convenience. The concentrated formula also provides good value.

My Siding Looks New Again
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scotts Multi Purpose Outdoor Cleaner was very effective in cleaning the mold off of my siding. This product was easy to use and the instructions were easy to follow. I have used this product several times to clean a variety of things around my house. I also like that this worked on getting my concrete floor on my porch cleaned as well. Definitely recommend giving this product a try.

Love it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this out door cleaner. Can be used for so many applications, the concentrate goes a long way! We used on patio furniture and fire pit chairs, swing set, and siding. Won’t try to use anything else again.

Great for patio furniture
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This works great on patio & outdoor furniture. I used it on my zero gravity chairs and appreciate how easy it is to use and how clean they were afterwards. Used on my deck box and other plastic tables that spend a lot of time outside uncovered and they looks brand new.

Great multi purpose cleaner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Scott’s Multi purpose cleaner has been a really great product for me to have around the house. I’ve been able to clean vinyl siding, concrete, and untreated wood without having to worry about all of the harsh chemicals that are often in other outdoor cleaners. I would rate this product as a 4.5 out of 5, just missing the top mark considering it is a multi purpose cleaner, so good at all jobs, but the most difficult cleaning jobs will still...

Forget About the Black Winter Buildup!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scotts Outdoor Cleaner did a REALLY EXCELLENT job of removing the black Winter buildup on the walkways and steps. The liquid was easy to spray on the sides of the steps and into the various crevices. I used a spray adaptor that allowed me to select the correct proportion of chemical and water. When I was through clearing away the black buildup, the walkways and steps looked like they just installed. THANK YOU SCOTTS!!!!

Great outside wash
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used this in our preasure washer to help get all the algae and dirt off the deck wood. Its like a soapy wash for your outdoor needs. I have found that iso.g this instrad of just water really cuts thru our problem areas mich quicker than without.

Does NOT Clean
Would Not RecommendBought as an alternative to 30 second cleaner due to the environmentally safe comments. One problem...IT DOES NOT ACTUALLY CLEAN ANYTHING! Horrible product. Basically stole my money as this is completely useless to clean my house.

Long Lasting
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used 2 years ago and am still happy with the results. The product was easy to use and mix. I used on a concrete patio to clean dirt and mildew. I also used on vinyl siding and on that it was even better and easier to use.

You have to scrub to get it to work.
Would RecommendUsed this principally on siding and porch rails. It is not a spray and wash off. You have to scrub in spots that have any mildew. So you’re out of luck if it’s an out of your reach area that you are unable to scrub. Otherwise it works OK. As long as you scrub. Doesn’t matter how long you leave it on and how many applications. You’re still have to scrub!
Thanks for sharing your feedback. We apologize for your experience using the Scotts Multi-Surface Concentrated Outdoor Cleaner. We would be happy to ...

Excellent Cleaner for Fence
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product in combination with my gas powered power washer on a fence with significant UV damage and debris build up. The difference was incredible in how easily the wood was stripped of old sealers while using the cleaner compared to just the power washer. It took about half the time and the wood looked as close to brand new as could be expected given its age. I have never been more impressed with a spray on cleanser as I have been wi...

East to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product did not work as advertised. I found it somewhat hard to use and not very effective. I tried it on a wood deck to remove leaf stains. It did not work. I also used it on some decorative stone and it also did not work. I followed instructions so I am not sure what the problem is.

It works well on concrete
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have only used this outdoor cleaner on concrete and it worked wonderfully! It is so easy to apply and wash off and I love the results. I have to admit that I was skeptical before, but I am really impressed now, I recommend it without a doubt.

Safe for grass
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So happy to have this product i can trust to use around plants and yard without concern. I have used a few times through my pressure washer on my siding and patio with great results. I look forward to buying more.

Safe for plants!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this plant safe cleaner on our outdoor wrought iron metal furniture. Sprayed it on, let it sit, and rinsed it off. Worked quite well and I didn't have to worry about the run off onto the lawn or plant beds.
