Question 1

How often should I have my fence cleaned?

Accepted Answer

Most fences in Florida benefit from professional cleaning every 1 to 3 years. Fences in shaded areas or near trees may require more frequent cleaning due to increased algae, mold, mildew, and lichen growth.

Question 2

What types of fences do you clean?

Accepted Answer

We clean vinyl fences, wood fences, privacy fences, picket fences, ranch-style fences, HOA perimeter fences, and commercial fencing.

Question 3

What is growing on my fence?

Accepted Answer

The green, black, or gray discoloration on your fence is typically algae, mildew, mold, lichen, or other organic growth caused by Florida’s heat, humidity, and rainfall.

Question 4

Can you remove lichen from my fence?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can remove most lichen growth using specialized soft wash cleaning methods. Heavy lichen buildup may require multiple treatments depending on how long it has been attached to the surface.

Question 5

Will fence cleaning damage my vinyl fence?

Accepted Answer

No. We use a soft wash process designed specifically for vinyl fences that safely removes organic growth without relying on excessive pressure that could damage the fence.

Question 6

Can you clean wood fences?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Wood fences require a different cleaning approach than vinyl fences. We use low-pressure cleaning techniques to remove algae, mildew, and dirt while helping preserve the wood fibers.

Question 7

Do you use pressure washing or soft washing?

Accepted Answer

Most fence cleaning projects are completed using a soft wash process that applies specialized cleaning solutions to break down algae, mildew, mold, and lichen before rinsing the fence clean.

Question 8

Can you remove rust stains from a vinyl fence?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer rust stain removal as an additional service for vinyl fences. Rust stains are commonly caused by irrigation systems, fertilizers, well water, and sprinkler overspray.

Question 9

Will fence cleaning kill plants or grass?

Accepted Answer

No, we take extensive precautions to protect your landscaping during the fence cleaning process. Plants, shrubs, and grass are thoroughly rinsed with water before, during, and after cleaning to help minimize the impact of our cleaning solutions. We also recommend running your irrigation system after service to further dilute any cleaning solution that may have come into contact with surrounding vegetation.

In cases where a fence has heavy algae, mold, mildew, or lichen buildup, multiple cleaning applications may be required to achieve the best results. These additional treatments increase the amount of cleaning solution used and may occasionally result in temporary yellowing or browning of grass directly adjacent to the fence line. While this is uncommon, it can occur when treating severely contaminated fences. In most cases, healthy grass recovers naturally over time with regular watering and normal growing conditions.

Our goal is always to balance effective fence cleaning with responsible plant protection practices to achieve the best possible results for your property.

Question 10

How long does fence cleaning take?

Accepted Answer

Most residential fence cleaning projects can be completed in a few hours, depending on the size of the fence and the amount of algae, mildew, or lichen buildup present.

Question 11

Do I need to be home during the service?

Accepted Answer

No, as long as we have access to the fence and an exterior water source. We can complete the work and notify you once the project is finished.

Question 12

How much does fence cleaning cost?

Accepted Answer

Fence cleaning costs vary based on the fence material, linear footage, accessibility, and level of organic growth. Contact Sunshine AquaWash for a free estimate.
