So, read on to learn how to leave your fence in the best possible condition.
Are you concerned about your security?
Preparation
The first thing you need to do before cleaning is prepare everything. Depending on the material you will need one thing or the other. Yet, for most, you need the same things. The usual materials you need for our cleaning overview by fence material are:
- Soap
- A hose or pressure washing machine
- A washcloth or fiber
- A cloth to dry
- A lot of patience
Vinyl fences
These are the easiest ones to clean. Due to their material being almost plastic-like, you can go crazy with the pressure washing. Well, not too crazy. Before using it make sure that the installation was done in the best way. If the posts were not installed correctly then the fence could fall or break. So, just make sure that your contractors did everything right before unleashing cleanliness on it.
Iron fences
For Iron is easier. This material is the sturdiest and even during the installation it has to be done the right way. You can do pressure washing, normal cleaning, your choice. Just make sure you dry it perfectly. Sometimes leaving the fence too wet can lead to it getting rusty and that is bad. So, to prevent that just make sure it is completely dry. Thankfully now that is summer, that won’t be an issue.
Wood fences
If your business has a wood fence then we recommend doing a light cleaning. Why? Wood fences are usually amongst the most fragile fence materials out there. And depending on the recent weather your fence might be wet. This makes the wood even more fragile and using a pressure washing machine isn’t a good idea. For the wood fence just splash some water on it, wash it with soap, rinse, and dry.
