The secret to fence cleaning for pressure-treated wood is using the right method, not the most pressure. In your area, we match the cleaner and pressure to the surface so it comes out clean without damage. For pressure-treated wood, that means low-pressure wash.

Method and pressure

Low-pressure washCleaning method
Usually 500-1,200 PSI with a wide fan tipPressure

Cleaning solution: An oxygen-based or sodium percarbonate wood cleaner, then an oxalic acid brightener.

What to know about cleaning pressure-treated wood

Pressure-treated pine is the most common deck and fence wood. It grays, mildews and gets slippery when wet. A wood cleaner does most of the work, and a brightener afterward restores the wood's color and helps new stain soak in.

Avoid: High pressure and narrow tips, which leave furry, gouged boards and lap marks.

How often: Clean yearly; restain every 2-3 years.
