Here is how you can clean your vinyl fence.
It’s nice when you can have a beautiful and clean fence around your yard. Not only can the right fence add extra security to your home, but it can also bolster your property’s curb appeal. There are many materials you could use to construct your fence, and one of the options at your disposal is vinyl fencing. One of the biggest appeals of vinyl fences is that they don’t require much in terms of upkeep. Still, though, occasional cleaning will be needed to keep them in good shape. Here is how you can clean your vinyl fence.
Use a Garden Hose to Spray Down Your Fence
Spraying your vinyl fence with water from a garden hose is a great first step. You may think about using a pressure washer or cleaning solution, but this may not be necessary. If you have a low soil load around your fence, a simple garden hose with no cleaning solution may be sufficient. Not only does this let you wash away dirt, but it’ll also be easier to see any problems that your fence may have.
If Necessary, Break Out the Pressure Washer and Cleaning Solution
Sometimes, spraying your vinyl fence with a hose won’t be sufficient. If this is the case for your fence, you’ll have to take additional measures to clean it. A homemade mixture of one gallon of water and a half-cup of white vinegar should make for an effective cleaning solution that can make it easier to break down more stubborn messes your fence has. Depending on how stubborn your messes are, this ratio may need to be adjusted.
If this is still not enough, it may be required to use a pressure washer. Generally, 2,400 PSI should be enough to clean most vinyl fences. You won’t want to use much more pressure than this because you run the risk of causing structural damage to your fence.
