• removing mildew from wood

What it concludes

• Spraying cleaner directly onto dry wood can cause streaking if it fully dries, so wetting the boards with water first helps prevent this.
• A gas-powered 3400 PSI pressure washer is too aggressive for cleaning wood and can damage it, whereas a lower pressure unit is easier to control and avoids tearing up the wood.
• Using an orbital sander is much faster than hand sanding and helps feather parts to give the final color a more natural look.
• Combining a sprayer and a brush or pad is a great way to quickly get stain on railings and floors while ensuring a smooth finish.
