Simple Cleaning Tools for Vinyl Swing Sets

Vinyl swing sets are simple to clean, but what type of cleaner should you use? Can you use a pressure washer? What if you neglected your vinyl swing set for a while, and it now shows algae and moss?

The best way to clean a vinyl swing set is to use a gentle cleaner like Simple Green. It’s fine if you get it on your hands, it isn’t harsh, and your kids can play on the swing set right after you clean it. This can be done with spot washing throughout the year as your kid’s muddy feet track dirt over the vinyl swing set, or you can do this once a year.

If you just spot cleaning, a soft bristle brush with Simple Green will take the dirt off the vinyl swing set. If you are more of a once-a-year cleaner, I suggest soaking the dirtiest spots with the cleaner and then giving the vinyl swing set a gentle pressure washing.
