Routine fence cleaning will keep wooden slats free of mold and mildew growth. A pressure washing session will clean a fence at a high rate of speed. Once the cleaning process is complete, a fence can be sealed, repainted, or restained.

Seek A Thorough Cleaning Session

If you used to clean your fence by hand, you may have had difficulty removing all of the surface stains that were present. Weak cleaning agents or inadequate cleaning aids can limit the amount of substances that are able to be removed during a maintenance session.

A pressure washing application will instantly reduce the amount of labor that you will be responsible for. A pressure washing service provider may charge a rate that is based off of the amount of time that the cleaning will take to complete. The surface area of a structure may also influence how much a pressure washing session will cost. 

Increase The Life Of Your Fence

A pressure washing service provider can treat a variety of surfaces. Wooden slats, solid wooden panels, metal components, and other nonporous materials will be receptive to a pressure washing application. During an inspection of the fence, the individual who will be performing the service will identify staining that comprises the fencing.

The pound-force per square inch that a machine is capable of producing will reflect upon how long it takes to clean the fence and the overall effectiveness of the cleaning session. If a sidewalk or another paved surface is aligned next to the fence, it may also benefit from being treated during a pressure washing session.

The service provider may use bleach, commercial detergent, and water mixture. If there are any plants within the area where the cleaning will take place, the provider may drape a protective cover over them. This will prevent the cleaning solution from coming into contact with plant life. A pressure washer can be adjusted, to ensure that the cleaning agent does not ruin the surface of the area being treated.

After applying the cleaning solution to each side of the fence, a strong spray of freshwater may be used to remove the cleaning mixture. Once the fence has dried, it can be sealed, repainted, or stained. The application of a sealant or a paint or stain product will protect raw wood. This may deter mold and mildew growth. It may also limit the amount of foreign materials that become stuck to the wooden components.
