 Rinse it down. I use like one of the hose end sprayers that you would use for your windows and stuff. It's got enough soap on there. If you need a brush, if you've got some dirt that's getting splashed up on it, it's easy to do. And it has got a super durable coating on it. I love this stuff. I put it at my house and I swear by it because it is tough as nails. So if you're tired of putting up fences, if you've got fences that are blowing down, that are rotting out, if it'll hold up in my weather here, that's a pretty good solid coating.
