Removing stain off of vinyl railings
by Michelle

I had my deck stained, and the person who stained it splattered stain onto the vinyl railings. It is dried on. What can I use to remove it? I try scrubbing it off but it does not come off. Thanks! Here is the deck

If water based you should be fine with water, oil based - contact the vinyl manufacturer for safe cleaners or way to hide it. Stay away from nail polish remover, most citrus based cleaners, scrubby pads etc... http://thehtrc.com/2012/composite-vinyl-decking-10-common-enemies P.S. if actual flecks you may be able to pop with a razor blade, just be very very careful

Definitely contact the manufacturer, I'd recommend Goo Gone but not sure if it will lift a stain. It will remove if it's a residue though.

Goo Gone would work. Goof Off, Mineral spirits, rubbing alcohol. Do not use any kind of solvent based products. They can affect, even melt plastic. No nail polish remover, no acetone.

I have always used mineral spirits for this kind of clean up. You can buy it in small metal cans anywhere you buy paint. That painter should have cleaned it up or at least told you how to, he must not be a real professional, jerks like that really make me mad, a simple job like that he should not have gotten any stain anywhere but the deck.

I just had the same problem when my deck and rails were stained. The sloppy painters dripped stain on my white window surrounds. I tried several products and finally had luck with Simple Green and a little elbow grease. Good luck!
