How to Clean Durables Vinyl Railing
To clean your Durables deck railings, you’ll need a few standard tools and products which you very likely already have in your house. To get this cleaning session started, you'll want to grab:
- Broom
- A reachable garden hose
- A bucket of warm tap water
- Mild, non-abrasive detergent such as dishwashing liquid or powder
- Multi-purpose household cleaner
- Soft cloth or sponge
- A spray bottle
If your vinyl is starting to show some mildew growth, you'll want to also include 1-2 cups of white vinegar.
Steps on how to clean your Durables Vinyl deck railing
1. Use your broom to sweep away any dirt, debris, or cobwebs that may have accumulated on your deck, porch, or patio space.
2. With your garden hose, gently rinse off your Durables railing.
3. In your spray bottle, mix the powdered detergent, multipurpose cleaner, and water. Shake the bottle for 1 minute until all of the powdered detergent has dissolved. If you had noticed areas of mold or mildew growth, switch out half of the water in the mixture with vinegar.
4. Spray the cleaning mixture onto a clean sponge or rag. Wipe down your Durables vinyl railing starting at the top rail and moving downward. Gently scrub each railing section to brighten any discolored areas and use extra elbow grease on areas with sticky or dried-on debris.
5. Allow the solution to sit on the Durables railing surface for about two minutes and then scrub on the more stubborn spots if necessary.
6. Rinse off the deck railing sections once again with your garden hose. Wipe down the cleaned Durables vinyl railing with clean towels and wait for the surface to dry completely.
