Operating the Pressure Washer and Washing Technique

start your pressure washer. All right, we're just cruising right along doing the pressure washing. And I'm going to give you some tips and tricks pressure washing. Now, the backside of this is extremely gray and um kind of black and it's stripping pretty fast. What you don't want to do is strip sideways. If your pickets are going up and down, you want to strip up and down. Otherwise, if you're doing a semi-transparent stain, you're probably going to see uh the cross striping or the cross-hatching of where you're stripping and um pressure washing. So, always go with the grain, with the pickets. I'm going up and down. I'm trying to do it and up the picket, down the picket, have it completely stripped, and then moving on to the next picket. On the opposite side, I'm shooting at an angle because I don't want to be shooting directly at the house, getting wood fibers all over the house. But, we'll actually just if we need to clean the side of the house after we're done pressure washing the fence. Now I'm pressure washing, stripping one side, going back, stripping the other side, and then going back and cleaning the opposite side that throws fibers on the other side. Now I've got um gap, big gaps in between the pickets, so I got to do the edges of it, too. We are going to be doing this fence in a solid color stain. So the opposite side, which was stained probably two years ago, um it you can't strip that off. So, it's going to look a lot better if it's done with a solid color stained. I like doing solid color stains once a fence has been stained multiple times and it won't look like new and natural if it hasn't been maintained and maintained very well. Just kind of interesting. This fence wasn't done very well. Only one side of it was done and not the opposite side, which is kind of um adding to the dilemma. But it's stripping really quick. We're cruising right along. Once again, I don't use any chemicals, any type of strippers, any kind of um conditioners or anything. I just don't like using that around customers plants, um the grass, the house, and stuff like that. I know a lot of them are environmentally uh safe and sensitive, but um I just like doing it with just water alone. Thought maybe some people might question. We are doing a solid color stain on this and you know, why the heck are we stripping it, stripping all this gray and black off and and um all this old wood? And you know, if you're just going to go over it, it right with a solid color stain…
