Everyone saying “don’t use bleach” has been red pilled by Mike V and other guys selling sponsored wood cleaners. This has gotta be the biggest misconception in the industry. Allowing the SH to dwell for hours is a bad idea, sure. Wash the SH off and rebalance the PH level with oxalic acid after 10-15 minutes. Oxalic acid also acts as a wood brightener, bringing out the wood’s original color and avoiding that dull look. Seal it with a stain and you’re good to go. The results speak for themselves. If the fence looks good and holds up for another 20 years, you can take your $55 bottle of Wood Wizard and shove it.
For anyone wondering…this is exactly what not to clean wood with. Sodium Hypochlorite changes the original color of the wood leaving it whitewashed, removes weather protection finishes from the wood and most importantly breaks down proteins and lingin in the wood leaving it more damaged than before.
@@mateot8428well it depends on if you’re a professional company that wants to provide their services the correct way. Of course there will always be the DIY guys like Spencer
Never do this to a fence. He should be using sodium metasilicate at a minimum, then applying oxalic acid as a brightener.
Yup thanks for the heads up👌

Gotta set customer expectations. Cheaper than a wood restoration.

The woods already old and ruined essentially. making it look nice for however long it has left shouldnt be a big deal
Then you stain it…
Yep, sodium metasillicate or sodium per carbonate
Literally just bleach? what dilution?
Yes please explain what dilution
No. You’re not supposed to use bleach on wood. Use a specific wood cleaner that doesn’t damage the wood like this
@@Rich72Jamesnope you’re not supposed to use bleach on wood at all…
