What’s up, everyone? Welcome back to the channel! Today, we’re diving into the world of fence cleaning with a step-by-step guide to restore wood to its natural color. If your fence has seen better days, this post will walk you through using a powerful chemical called Wood Wizard to bring it back to life.
The Challenge: Reviving Weathered Wood
Fences take a beating from the elements, often accumulating layers of algae, grime, and discoloration. While some cleaning products might lighten the surface, they don’t always restore that rich, natural wood color. Enter Wood Wizard—a sodium metasilicate-based chemical that delivers professional-grade results.
Why Wood Wizard?
Wood Wizard offers:
-
Safe Cleaning: It won’t gray or bleach the wood like harsh chemicals.
-
Cost Efficiency: A single gallon of concentrate, mixed 4:1 with water, can cover a massive area, making it budget-friendly for large projects.
-
Ease of Use: Apply with a soft wash system or pressure washer at low pressure to preserve the wood’s texture.
Step-by-Step Fence Cleaning Tutorial
1. Prep the Area:
Ensure the fence is clear of debris. For heavily soiled sections, pre-rinse to remove loose dirt.
2. Mix the Solution:
Dilute Wood Wizard at a 4:1 ratio (one part chemical, four parts water). This mix strikes the perfect balance between effectiveness and coverage.
3. Apply the Chemical:
Spray the solution evenly onto the fence using a soft wash unit or a pressure washer with a low-pressure white tip. Let the chemical dwell for 20 minutes to break down dirt and algae.
4. Rinse Gently:
Using a 40° white tip, rinse the fence with low pressure to avoid furrowing the wood. This step reveals the restored, natural luster of the wood.
5. Let It Dry:
Allow the fence to dry completely—typically 12-24 hours—to see the full effect.
Results: From Dull to Dazzling
After cleaning, the fence regains its natural wood tone, free from algae and grime. To protect your work, consider sealing the wood. A quality sealant extends the life of the fence and prevents future weathering.
