How to clean your wood fence FAST and easy! #easy #fences #mrclean
What happens here
Before beginning, gather all necessary equipment including a pressure washer, a pressure washer wand, appropriate nozzles (such as a wide-angle 25-degree green or 40-degree white tip), a garden hose, and essential safety gear like safety glasses and work gloves. Inspect the wooden fence for any loose boards, nails, or existing damage. Clear the area immediately surrounding the fence of any movable items, plants, or delicate landscaping that could be affected by the high-pressure water spray or potential cleaning solutions. Connect the garden hose to the pressure washer's water inlet, then attach the high-pressure hose and wand. Ensure a wide-angle nozzle is selected to minimize the risk of damaging the wood surface.
Goal: Ensure all equipment is ready and the area is safe for pressure washing.
