Removing stain off of vinyl railings
Hi Sharon, I found this online: To remove oil-based paints or wood stain from any surface when they are still wet is a simple task. All that you have to do is give the affected area a wipe with a soft cloth dipped in either paint thinner or turpentine and the stain is gone in seconds.
If it's already dry, you can still try the above, but you may have to touch up your white railings.
If it's a real mess, maybe you should consider light sanding and repainting your railings.
Good luck!
Magic Eraser or very fine steel wool pad, though it will perhaps remove a bit of the surface. I'd try Magic Eraser first.
You may have to strip it off. If you repaint use an exterior sealer first so you don't get bleed through.
