Lowest temp

They do NOT loose their strength, they just don’t work well in the cold. I needed to clarify this because someone will read your statement and think, oh crud, my degreaser was in the truck overnight and it hit 30 degrees, now it won’t work anymore, darn."…which is NOOOOOOT TRUE!!!

FYI, I tell my customers not to clean below 50F.

27 degrees in Apex, NC when we started this morning. Soap icing on buildings but comes off fairly easy when rising. The front sides with entrances will get some around noon when it warms up.

Yes thats what i meant i just worded it wrong.

First time doing wood. It never got above 45 degrees yesterday it still turned out nice.

It seems from the mud on your clothes thst you used too much pressure.
I only use low pressure on wood fences and rinse with hot water.
But the fence looks good

Agree with @Ikii…you can use your low pressure rinse tip and strong SH mix to do the work. You can also use oxalic afterwards to brighten. But it did come out great and nice before/after pics for marketing!!

I stopped doing wood fences…just don’t enjoy it

I need to do my own fence, what was your technique?

I did use pressure. Seems like the only way to get that grayish dead wood off.

I used a very strong sh mix. Still didnt do nothing for that “gray” color. I used my 40 degree tip. I held it back to where it covered the whole plank and over lapped on each side alittle. Then went straight down and straight back up then repeated all the way down.

Why not i pocketed $600 for this fence and deck. My forearms and back are very sore lol. Customer loved it they was out there taking before and afters too. Now they want me to come seal/stain it. I might change my mind later on when i do a hard deck lol

Bottom line… if clients liked it, it us all that matters.
You can work on techinque and time later on.

I have used this in the past…from lowes it works.

Spaying from bottom to top.

Olympic is nothing but bleach and not something a commercial cleaner should use. Potash will make it so you can rinse with a garden hose

I thought cocagirl said that stuff was nothing but over priced bleach or infinity. It was one of them.
