Bleaching a Wooden Fence With Chlorine - Time Lapse

[@KathrynKimbley]

Love the boys fast forward helping towards the end 🤣😂

[@johnellis5865]

Should we always do this in the Spring, not Summer or November before Winter hits.

[@marriedinmichigan]

You can do this anytime of year. Just make sure you really rinse your grass off if you're doing it in summer.

Just hit it with some oil based stain after cleaning and you wont have to do this every year. I feel like chemical applications every year are doing more damage long term.

[@mandygarbett3445]

Looks fabulous 🥰

[@johnellis5865]

Should we scrub in the soap and bleach to get it in the wood?

[@marriedinmichigan]

No scrubbing needed at all

[@jwilkins4513]

So its 10:1 chlorine:H2O with car wash solution???

[@marriedinmichigan]

Yes

[@troydebaun1568]

What dose the rain x do?

[@marriedinmichigan]

It's in the description

[@travisharrison4621]

How much for that fence and do you charge by the panels

[@anik6960]

what did use

[@marriedinmichigan]

Chlorine

[@anik6960]

@@marriedinmichigan did you use 1 gallon of chlorine 1 gallon of water and how much car soup thanks for the fast reply.

[@marriedinmichigan]

@@anik6960 1 part chlorine 10 parts water. 4 squirts of car soap.

[@MikeyConnollyCodeManCometh]

@@marriedinmichigan how is it 1 part chlorine and 10 parts water, you had a 2 gallon sprayer , added 1 gallon of Chlorine, and 1 gallon of water..what am i missing?? thats a 1:1 ratio not 10:1

[@marriedinmichigan]

@MikeyConnollyCodeManCometh 10:1 is just a recommendation. You can add as much as you want depending how bad the wood is.

Where did you get the round up sprayer with the turn nozzle option?

What do you use on wood 2% SH?

[@marriedinmichigan]

10% because it was on sale

[@601TDA]

Do you have to use liquid chlorine or could you use the chlorine pool tablets and let them dissolve?

[@marriedinmichigan]

@601TDA it's tough to get those to dissolve in a timely manner. Plus the pieces clock the sprayer.

[@cyborgclarke]

How long do you leave on before washing it off?

[@marriedinmichigan]

Not long. Do a 6-8 foot section then rinse before moving on.

Awe the babies and trisha at the end made my heart full ♥️ I don’t know if your back garden can get anymore beautiful 🤩 xxx

You'll have to come and see it soon xxx

⁠@@marriedinmichigan damn bro xxx? You hit that?

[@marriedinmichigan]

@@jjrealestateg What?

[@Rick-kp6wf]

Why rainX?

[@marriedinmichigan]

It's car wash soap made by RainX. The soap helps the bleach stick to the wood. It was in stock at the Dollar Store so that's what I went with.

[@Rick-kp6wf]

@@marriedinmichigan Gotcha!👍

dogs go back into the house with white patches of hair from the Chlorine overspray they kept running into!!!

[@barnonets2010]

I’ve always been advised to not use bleach on wood. There’s a pro on KZbin called the wizard of wood and many professional pressure washing and staining groups I’m in also advise to not use sodium hypochlorite (pool bleach) on outside wood. What I used on mine was sodium percarbonate to clean it and oxalic acid to brighten it. Came out looking amazing. It was untreated for years before I did it.

[@jimmycasey6400]

So what do you use and where do you get it from

[@greggf.primus8916]

KZbin is oversaturated with "professionals". I own 4 properties and have been using SH on all my wooden fences. Every 3-5 years I soft wash, clean and stain them with no problems. Been using this method for 15 years. Use what works for you and SH works flawlessly for me.

[@marriedinmichigan]

Chlorine. Get it at the local store or on Amazon

[@Thetruthhurtstrump2024]

@@greggf.primus8916 yes chlorine is the best thing to use on wood. I don’t waste my money or time and other BS.

[@Thetruthhurtstrump2024]

@@marriedinmichigan what percentage do you use? 2-3%

[@sheritonsmith1102]

Hello, what was your mix ratio and size of sprayer?

[@marriedinmichigan]

10 to 1 in a 2 gallon sprayer

[@arungsri]

Sorry, 10 parts chlorine 1 part water or vice versa?

[@marriedinmichigan]

@@arungsri one part chlorine, ten parts water

[@fredallen7000]

Fence looks good.so much for the grass you just killed

[@marriedinmichigan]

Didn't die because I thoroughly watered after each section.

[@van6605]

Chlorine damages wood by breaking down the fibers that hold it together. Wouldn’t suggest doing this.

[@morris4morris]

Looks like you've done this before, and that's why your fence is white, not a brown / tan / yellow natural wood color. But if that's the look you're going for....

[@marriedinmichigan]

Thinking about staining it this year

[@Thetruthhurtstrump2024]

What are you looking at the fence looks natural?

[@evanjones4671]

​@@Thetruthhurtstrump2024 looks like the "before" sections which are just sun bleached over time from the UV lol 🤦
