Don’t forgot to clean your vinyl fence this fall!
While a vinyl fence does not demand very much attention, your vinyl fence will need to be cleaned at least once a year in order for it to maintain its beautiful appearance. So why not devote an afternoon to cleaning your vinyl fence this weekend? Cleaning your fence before winter sets in will not only make your fence beautiful for the holidays but it will also ensure your fence stays in good shape for the winter weather ahead. Let’s take a look at some steps to cleaning your vinyl fence.
What You Will Need
For an easy cleaning, you will need a power washer. A power washer is an easy tool that will allow you to clean your fence in minutes. But if you do not have a power washer, never fear, you will simply need some more accessories. To clean the fence without a power washer, you will need a garden hose, a gallon bucket, soap, and a stiff-bristled brush.
Steps to Cleaning Your Vinyl Fence
The first thing you will need to do to clean your vinyl fence is to make a cleaning solution. If you do not want to buy a specialty cleaning solution that is formulated for cleaning vinyl, you can always mix your own. Mix powdered laundry detergent, powdered household cleaner, liquid bleach, and water together in a bucket and mix thoroughly. Once it is mixed, use a garden hose to spray one section of the vinyl fence at a time. Dip the brush into the cleaning solution and scrub the areas of the fence where you see a stain. Rinse off the soap and residue with the garden hose and move onto the next section.
One of the best things about vinyl fences is their ability to stay clean. With one cleaning and a regular hosing, your vinyl fence will remain clean all year long with very little effort. You should also make sure to inspect your vinyl fence regularly to avoid broken pickets and unseen damage.
