How To Care For And Maintain Your Vinyl Fence
Vinyl Fence Maintenance - General Care
- Rinse off debris – A simple spray with your garden hose removes grass clippings, dirt and fertilizer
chemicals and helps keep your fence looking like new. - Avoid Excess Stress – Keep gates secured when not in use, and discourage children from swinging on them,
to avoid excess wear on the hinges. Avoid stacking materials against your fence. - Annual check-up – Each Spring, adjust gates to ensure they’re level and latch securely. Oil hinges and
check that screws are tight. If needed, re-tamp and realign any loose fence posts.
Vinyl Fence Cleaning
- Light cleaning – Mild soap and water take care of most everyday dirt.
- Minor stains – Use a non-abrasive liquid cleaner.
- Stubborn stains – Try one of the following: Simple Green®, Mr. Clean® Magic Eraser, Mineral Spirits, Trichloroethylene, CLR® or vinegar. Always follow the manufacturer’s directions.
Note: Avoid using Goof Off®, as it may damage the finish.
