How to Remove Graffiti From a Vinyl Fence

Squirt liquid dish soap into a bucket. Fill the bucket with hot water.

Wet down the fence with plain water from the garden hose.

Wipe down the fence with the sponge and soapy water to remove the graffiti.

Rinse the fence with plain water and allow it to air dry. This may be all that is required if the graffiti is marker, chalk, crayon or a similar substance.

Use a stronger product if the graffiti is still present or if it is in the form of paint. Solvents such as turpentine, lacquer thinner, mineral spirits or acetone can all be used.

Pour the solvent into a clean, empty spray bottle. Make sure that the bottle has not been used before with any other solvents or cleaning products. Even a small trace of certain chemicals can cause a negative reaction with some of the solvents.

Spray a modest coating of the solvent onto the graffiti-stained area of the fence.

Wipe the fence with a clean, dry rag. Wipe the rag over the graffiti in only one direction as opposed to scrubbing. Scrubbing will only smear the graffiti.

Rinse the fence with plain water from the garden hose. Repeat the process of cleaning the fence with the solvent if the graffiti remains. If one solvent is ineffective, try a different one. Clean the fence thoroughly with soap and water and rinse when switching solvents.
