Vinyl Maintenance
- Use an ordinary carwash brush and a garden hose to wash down your vinyl fence or railing. It will keep everyday dirt and dust off of it between rains.
- If you need to remove more than everyday dirt and dust, then wipe down your vinyl fence or railing with the following:
- 1/3 cup powdered detergent
- 2/3 cup of household cleaner
- 1 gallon of water
