What happens here

Once the stain stripper has completed its dwell time, rinse it off thoroughly using a pressure washer. It is crucial to run the pressure washer's spray nozzle along the grain of the deck boards, rather than side-to-side across them. This technique prevents potential tear-outs or damage to the wood. The presenter stresses several vital safety precautions based on personal experience: wear long-sleeve clothing and a hat to protect your skin, as the chemical is highly acidic (like a 'hair remover') and can cause burns. Goggles and a respirator are also essential for eye and respiratory protection.

Goal: Safely remove the stain stripper and loose stain from the deck.

with a pressure washer when it comes to pressure washing and rinsing off the chemicals really try avoiding running the spray nozzle side to side of the board's instead try to run it with the grey along the boards this will prevent any kind of tear outs or damage to the wood now the best piece of safety advice I'll tell you is learn from my mistakes it's a good idea to put on some long sleeve clothing along with a hat what I found to be true is this chemical basically acts like mayor Hair Remover where it's kind of almost like an acid so definitely wear goggles definitely wear a respirator and for sure put on a hat and maybe some long sleeves to really save you some burn marks later all right yeah so this is the first time
