Removing Black Soot Stains from Vinyl Covered Siding - Any Advice?

Thanks Kadee, my mother used to use Ajax scouring powder for those type of scuff marks.

We always have a pack of baby wipes with us in case we dribble/ spill food on our clothes :rofl:
I also use them to wipe my feet in summer after taking off my dancing shoes

Is it a large area? Hire someone to come ofer and "power wash" it! The man who stained my cedar siding did that first and years of black stains came off. It doesn't cost much either.
