Hardware stores sell special fence cleaner that strips the fence of the existing stain. Pairing the cleaner with a pressure washer will clean the wood of any debris and dirt, leaving you with a beautiful fence to stain from scratch.
Things You Will Need
-
Spray the fence with a garden hose to remove excess debris or residue. This primes the wood for the cleaning solution.
-
Pour the cleaning solution into a garden sprayer. Spray the fence to saturate the wood with the cleaner. Allow the cleaner to soak into the wood for twenty minutes.
-
Set the pressure washer to the widest setting by turning the nozzle. Stand a foot away from the fence and begin rinsing the cleaning solution off using the pressure washer. Continue this process until the entire fence is clean.
-
Allow the fence to dry for at least 24 hours before attempting new stain or maintenance. Check for any stained areas that may need a second treatment of cleaner.
