How to avoid bleaching out stained soffits

This house is going to be painted again anyway, so it doesn’t matter in this case, but next time I do a house with soffits like these, how can I avoid bleaching out the stain on them?

Don’t spray bleach on them.

And what if I need to clean the facsia?

Then don’t. Walking away is the most profitable decision sometimes

Ok, I’ll avoid these types of soffits

Soffits are next to impossible to not get hit with the sauce, the way I do them is a pump up sprayer with water and soap, don’t be shy with it, get a good film on there and wash as you normally would taking measures to not get bleach on it. I do it with stained doors as well, more rinsing involved but I adjust the estimate for that. Normally i would let these go to my competition. I hate stain with a passion.

Best business advice you can get is what @Innocentbystander said, “walk”. I know it’s tough if your hard up for work but if not walk.

Great to know

I have too many jobs right now and I don’t have a ton of experience, so I agree that I should stick to the straight forward jobs
