House Cleaning Rockville writes, “As Fall carries on, there are plenty of cleaning jobs for you to do around the house and garden. If you have bamboo fencing or furniture in your garden, now’s the time to clean and seal it to ensure it looks great next year and you can enjoy sitting out in your garden!
The experts recommend bamboo fences should be cleaned and sealed one year after installation and then every 18 months to two years after that—it depends on the local climate and how wet and cold it is. In this part of the world, two years should be sufficient.
Fall means there are lots of leaves around—colorful, but a bit of a nuisance! House Cleaning Rockville says sure you clear them away from your fence or furniture regularly, especially in areas where the shade and water are abundant as they can lead to rot.
To clean and seal your bamboo fence, here is what to do:
First, check the weather forecast! You need to do this job when you are going to have two or three dry days. Rain hinders this job!
How to clean and seal
Here are House Cleaning Rockville’s instructions for cleaning and then sealing your bamboo fence:
- Start by spraying the bamboo with a cleaning solution—you can use a dilute solution of distilled vinegar and water or dish-washing liquid in warm water.
- Allow the solution twenty minutes to dry completely.
- Using a stiff bristle brush or broom, scrub the surface well.
- Use your power hose or a pressure washer to wash the fence and get rid of all the debris
- Now you need to allow two days for the bamboo to dry thoroughly—which is why we tell you to check the weather forecast before you embarking on this job.
- Finally, you’ll need a word preservative to seal the fence. Look for one that contains fungicides and ingredients that protect against wood-boring insects and blue stain, and wax or other water repellents. Apply according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
A restored bamboo fence will look as good as new and the fences are robust, sturdy and long-lasting. And isn’t it good to know you’ve done the job and given your bamboo fence its best chance to look amazing next year!
