Here are simple steps to clean your vinyl fence:
- Start by washing off loose debris. You can use a garden hose and a scrub brush if you don’t have a power washer. This will help you to find any areas of the fence that are especially covered in dirt and mildew so you know where to focus your cleaning efforts.
- After you spot any trouble areas, you can use a cleaning solution of simple dish detergent and water, or a household product like Simple Green to tackle the dirt. Scrub with a soft brush as needed and wipe the debris away with a clean cloth.
- After these cleaning steps, if you are still finding stubborn stains, you can use a small amount of bleach mixed with water, and a soft brush. Make sure to test a small spot on your fence that is not visible so that you can ensure that the bleach does not damage the natural color of your fence.
- When using bleach, make sure to take extra care around plants and gardens. Spilling even a small amount of bleach can harm the vegetation in your yard.
