Many homeowners use wooden fences as a way to maintain privacy in their backyard. But in order to make the most out of your fence it is necessary to make sure it is free of dirt, algae or mold. Because wood is a porous material, dirt can deeply penetrate wood crevices where you can't notice it, making it hard to clean. But don't worry. You don't have to hire a professional or spend a lot of money just to keep your fence as good as new. Here are some tips for fence cleaning.
Step 1
Create a mixture of one part bleach and two parts water in a bucket.
Step 2
Using a rag, apply a generous coating of the water and bleach mixture to the fence. Allow your fence to soak.
Step 3
Wait for around 15 minutes and see if the fence will start to look brighter.
Step 4
Use a hose to rinse off the mixture, dirt and grime. The hose must be set in a high pressure setting. You can also use a pressure washer, provided that you follow the instructions of the manufacturer. Step 5 Let the fence to dry.
Step 6
Inspect your fence if there are parts that you missed. Scrub these areas using a hard-bristled brush or a sponge to loosen the dirt.
If you really want your fence to last for a long time, consider other maintenance procedures such as staining and sealing. Or visit the official Serano Timber website to help you with your decking or fencing project.
