Are you starting to update the exterior of your home and wondering how to clean a wood fence before staining it? Well, look no further because I’ve got your answer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wood fences can be cleaned with a pressure washer or by hand before staining. Use a pressure washer at 1500-2000 psi with a 25-40 degree angle spray. Alternatively, use a 1 part bleach: 2 parts water mixture and a scrub brush to hand scrub the fence clean. All algae and dirt must be removed before staining.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, it’s that simple! However, I must say it’s MUCH faster (and easier) to use a pressure washer than it is to hand scrub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So if it’s possible, I would look into borrowing, renting, or purchasing one to complete your wood fence staining project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But for those that don’t have that option, hand scrubbing will get the job done as well. I’ve covered both ways to better help you on your journey below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s dive in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\nQuick Navigation: How To Clean A Wood Fence Before Staining<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
