Even though fence maintenance for vinyl fences is incredibly low, there is still a certain method and amount of elbow grease necessary to clean them. Simple supplies such as soap and water are useful in cleaning vinyl fences. Barring more than a bucket of soapy water and a few soft rags and brushes, you could also use a bottle of spray-on vinyl cleaner if you wish. It it recommended you give your vinyl fence a simple cleaning once every three to six months.
Here’s how to easily clean a vinyl fence:
- Many fences can be sprayed down with a water hose and be fine after that. Try spraying it down with a hose first and then see if any more complicated measures will be needed.
- For more in-depth cleaning, you can use either the bucket of soapy water, vinyl cleaner or both. If you’re mixing both in the same bucket, make sure you don’t dilute the vinyl cleaner with too much water.
- Scrub the dirty areas of the vinyl fence with the rag in the bucket of soap and water. If it is vinyl cleaner, spray it on and wipe the fence off with a dry rag or cloth.
- Vinyl fences rarely need to be repainted, so after your fence air dries you do not need to add another layer of paint.
- When the fence is done drying, it should look as good as the day you installed it!
