Over time, wooden fences can start to look worn out, grey, and even start to mold. At Superior Stain Solutions, we specialize in restoring wood fences using professional-grade products like Oxygenated Wood Bleach, Sodium Metasilicate, and Oxalic Acid. Here’s how we bring old, tired fences back to life—while keeping the wood healthy and strong.

Why Restore Your Fence?

Restoring your fence isn’t just about making it look pretty again (though that’s a big part of it!). It’s also about protecting your investment. Over time, dirt, mold, and weather can weaken the wood, making it more likely to rot or break. By restoring your fence, you’re not only improving its appearance but also making it last longer.

Our Fence Restoration Process

1. Cleaning the Wood

The first step is to give your fence a deep clean to remove all the dirt, mold, and old stains. We use two key products to do this:

Oxygenated Wood Bleach: This eco-friendly cleaner is tough on stains but gentle on wood. It removes mold, mildew, and discoloration without harming the environment.
Sodium Metasilicate: This powerful cleaner helps break down dirt and grime, preparing your fence for the next steps.

2. Brightening the Wood

Even after cleaning, your fence might still look a little dull. That’s where Oxalic Acid comes in. This wood brightener works wonders to:

Remove stubborn stains (like those from leaves or rusty nails).
Bring back the wood’s natural color.
Neutralize the wood’s pH so it’s ready for staining or sealing.

3. Why We Don’t Use High Water Pressure

You might think power washing is the best way to clean a fence, but high water pressure can actually do more harm than good. Here’s why we avoid it:

It Can Damage the Wood: High-pressure water can strip away soft wooden fibers, leaving the surface rough and uneven.
It Removes the Wood’s Protective Layer: Aggressive power washing can strip away the wood’s natural defenses, making it more vulnerable to future damage.

Instead, we use low-pressure washing combined with our cleaning solutions to gently clean the wood without causing harm.
