Has your vinyl fence accumulated some tire marks, scratches, or dirt and grime? Today we pit our cleaning techniques against four vinyl fence cleaning challenges to see what we can successfully remove.
Simply green with microfiber rags work great and a lite abrasive sponge on hard marks, great advice and defiantly no permanent markers and Spray paint. Have a great day Dan and team SWI and fence fam 💪
For permanent marker scribble over it with a dry erase marker and then wipe off. Haven’t tried it on vinyl yet but it works amazing on a dry erase board. 🤯
Great info...I would make the lawn service fix those marks. I might probably use Spray-Nine. Have you tried Bleche-White for white wall tires? Not even sure if they still make it.
What will it take to get permanent marker off the vinyl fence? Some acetone on a paper towel. It will remove it right off without any scrubbing whatsoever. And followed immediately with another paper towel with just water to completely remove the remaining acetone off the surface. That easy. Acetone will remove anything that alcohol can't. I don't know about anyone else but acetone in my house is a must.
We are a vinyl only installer. Vim ‘with bleach’ is the best product to clean your vinyl fence with. Just put it on a dry cloth and rub it in. It is meant for plastics and has pumice in it for grit and doesn’t damage the titanium oxide. It gets off the hard dark marks and even smooths light scratches. You beginners will learn 🤣
I always use Soft Scrub with bleach to clean vinyl fence. A friend of mine owns his own electronics repair shop. In that shop he has a dry erase board hanging on the wall. I stopped by one day to visit him and when I walked in he was on the phone. While he was on the phone he picked up a Sharpie and started writing down a name, address, and phone number of one of his customers. After he hung up the phone I asked him if he realized that he just wrote on his dry erase board with a permanent marker and he said yes. I asked him why and he said that sometimes when he is carrying in a TV to be repaired he sometimes would bump into it with his shoulder and accidentally erase the info he had written on it. I then asked him how he was going to get it off. He grabbed a dry erase eraser and a plastic bottle of a clear fluid in it and poured a little bit of that fluid on the eraser and wiped the board with it and the permanent ink came off just like it would have if it had been a dry erase marker. I asked him what that was in the bottle and he said MEK. Now what that is I do not know and where you get it I do not know but I do know that that permanent ink wiped right off without hardly any effort.
baking soda will knock all that shit out with a fraction of effort. The SOS pads should be used with wd-40 or some other oil to curb scratching your vinyl!
Using steel wool on a vinyl fence will destroy the UV protection on the vinyl, which is worse than merely dulling the shine in the area. Why on earth would you recommend it, at all??? Good grief.
If you keep saying “titanium dioxide” without stating it’s importance makes it meaningless terminology; it is an essential UV protection on the vinyl that keeps it from developing a dirty, mottled appearance when exposed to rays of the sun.
