Fence Cleaning Wadsworth, IL

Fence cleaning for Wadsworth homes

Fence cleaning in Wadsworth starts with knowing the housing: rural and semi-rural lots with larger homes. We see a lot of long fence runs on big lots, and the work is planned around it.

The wooded corridor along the Des Plaines River means a lot of Wadsworth yards are shaded for most of the day. Shaded wood stays damp, grows mildew on the north side and needs a thorough chemical clean and brightener before it will take stain evenly.

A fence that has never been cleaned will not take stain evenly, and a fence that was blasted with high pressure will take stain in blotches wherever the surface was torn. Cleaning is not glamorous, but it is what decides how the stain looks. If your fence just needs to stop being green, cleaning alone is a good yearly maintenance job.

How the job goes in Wadsworth

1. Pre-wet and protectPlants along the fence line are soaked so the cleaner does not affect them. Siding and windows in range are rinsed.
2. Apply cleanerSodium percarbonate solution goes on by pump sprayer, dwells 10 to 15 minutes and lifts algae, mildew and gray oxidation.
3. Scrub problem spotsThe bottom foot of the fence and shaded sections get a stiff brush where growth is thick.
4. Low-pressure rinseWide fan tip, well off the boards, working top to bottom so dirty water does not re-streak clean areas.
