Knowing the proper care and maintenance practices will help to keep your wrought iron fence in perfect condition.
Protect It
Weather conditions can cause damage to your wrought iron fence. From rain to humidity, your wrought iron fence can become rusty over years of abuse due to poor weather conditions. It’s important to check for any weeds or vines that are growing around your wrought iron fence and remove them. It’s particularly important to make sure that you keep any prickly vines and bushes away from your wrought iron fence to avoid rust, as even the smallest scratch can lead to a massive rusting effect.
You may also choose to apply a coating of repellant spray, which will eliminate any harmful elements from getting in contact with your wrought iron fence. Another way to protect your wrought iron fence is by simply painting it, which reduces a number of harmful elements that can seep into your wrought iron fence.

And when you’ve finished scrubbing, simply rinse away all your hard work and voila, you have a nice and clean wrought iron fence to enjoy.
