We always take our time testing new chemicals before rolling them out. A few weeks ago, we sprayed a small section of the fence with Wood Wizard and simply left it—no scrubbing, no pressure washing. The result? Over time, the fence became noticeably cleaner with zero damage to the wood.
To take things further, we treated another section and let it sit for about a month. Today, we're back to check the after-effects and perform a full cleaning demonstration.
Why Sodium Metasilicate?
Many chemicals can be used for wood cleaning, but not all are ideal. While sodium hypochlorite (SH) can be used, it's not the best option because it can be too harsh on wood fibers. Even with oxalic acid as a neutralizer, SH remains borderline effective and somewhat risky. This is why we highly recommend Wood Wizard, which provides exceptional results without the risk of damaging the surface.
Mixing and Application
Wood Wizard is a concentrate, meaning it needs to be diluted before application. The recommended dilution is 1 part Wood Wizard to 4 parts water, but this can be adjusted depending on the severity of the staining and dirt buildup.
To prepare our solution, we used a Milwaukee pump-up sprayer with interchangeable tanks. Here's how we mixed it:
-
Added 4 parts water to 1 part Wood Wizard in the sprayer.
-
Slowly filled the tank to prevent excessive foaming due to the surfactants in the formula.
-
Applied an even coat of the solution to the test section of the fence.
-
Allowed it to dwell for 20 minutes to let the chemical break down dirt, grime, and organic buildup.
Rinsing and Results
12-Volt Rinse Test
Before using a pressure washer, we tested the cleaning power with a simple 12-volt rinse. While this low-pressure system isn't enough for a deep clean, it still revealed impressive results, showing how much Wood Wizard had already lifted from the surface.
Pressure Washing for a Perfect Finish
To complete the job, we used a white-tip nozzle on a pressure washer, allowing for a thorough rinse without damaging the wood fibers. The method was simple:
-
Long, even strokes from bottom to top.
-
Consistent pressure to ensure an even clean without splintering the wood.
-
A side-by-side comparison with an untreated section, highlighting the dramatic difference.
The final result? A restored, fresh-looking wooden fence that maintains its integrity while looking brand new.
