White PVC fence and gates are a few of features that crown a yard and are usually built to last for several years. You can have them installed them as a decorative or a functional feature around your property, but white vinyl (PVC) fence and gates aren’t completely resistant to natural elements, which means they can get damaged by dirt, grass stains, dust or grease, and tar. Don’t be fret! With a little cleaning and maintaining efforts, you can restore your white vinyl fence and gate.
Given below are a few cleaning and maintaining methods to restore white PVC fence and gates.
Light Cleaning Method- In order to get rid of the light buildup of dirt and dust, you need the supplies such as mild dish soap, a hose, non-abrasive scrubber, rags, a bucket, and water.
- Start the cleaning process by hosing off the fence and gate with water, work in small sections from the top to down. In case of stubborn dirt, use a spray attachment with a steadier stream.
- Fill the bucket with warm water and add a few drops of dish soap.
- Dampen a rag with the soapy solution and starting wiping the fence in small sections. Use the scrubber, as required for ground-in stains.
- Keep rinsing the fence with a hose until you get the luster back.
Mid-Grade Cleaning Method- Some stains such as grass and organic stains like mildew and mold don’t go with soaps. For such tougher stains, you’ll need bleach to remove them. Make sure you use rubber gloves to protect your hands from any damage.
- First of all, you’ll need to fill the bucket with parts of water and one part of bleach. This mixture should be strong enough to get rid of most mid-grade stains.

- Rinse the fence with a hose until the stains fade away.
Heavy Cleaning Method- The toughest stains such as tar and grease stains on your white PVC fence and the gate requires a heavy cleaning method. To remove these stains, you’ll need a plastic scraper, tar remover or mineral spirits, rags and rubber gloves.
- Moisten a rag with the tar remover or mineral spirits.
