Red Clay stains

Chuck,

I did a new construction job a few weeks ago where the mud left that red stain on white paint. Tried really hard to get it off but couldn't. Fortunately, I was prepping the job for the painters to do their final work. I saw the painters at the site the next day and one of them said he'd been painting for 30 years and had never seen anything that would clean it off.

Maybe someone on this board will let us in on their secret on how to clean it! IF anybody can actually clean it off.

Red clay on vinyl will come off If the vinyl is of good quality and has a good finish on it. I use a strong akaline detergent and that does it for me but on wood or blocks it's almost impossible to remove. Anything that is very porous in nature will suck the red color right in deep. But on new vinyl a strong alkaline will do it.
