Zebra Stripes?

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you have ever used a pressure washer and left marks or zebra strips on your sidewalk, driveway or deck, then you know it takes some skill and experenice to do it right. Most professional wood restoration contractors use “surface cleaners”. They do a much better job than a pressure washing wand because of the circular motion used to do the cleaning. With more uniform results, the surface cleaner used properly will not leave start and stop marks as does a pressure washer wand. It also makes the job faster and if it is a large job, it can reduce back fatigue.

On this deck, we used hot water to help aid in the stripping process of a latex stain. It was cold weather and the hot water helped activate the stripper.
