Question

Be sure the bleach is fully rinsed before applying vinegar -- mixing the two can cause deadly gas!

Top Answerer

You are absolutely correct. Some chemicals should never be mixed. Further, some chemicals should never follow the deadly-mix chemical. Use one-- or the other -- not both, not even if rinsed.

Question

I have been told to use a mixture of white vinegar and epson salts. Is this a good idea?

Lina DaSilva

Top Answerer

Using a mixture of white vinegar and Epsom salts as a cleaning solution for a wood fence can be effective, especially when dealing with mildew and mold. Vinegar is a natural disinfectant. It helps kill mold, bacteria, and mildew, which are common problems on wood fences, especially in damp environments. Epsom salts can help in the cleaning process, although they're more commonly known for their use in gardening and health. In this context, they can act as a mild abrasive to help scrub away dirt and grime.

Question

How can I stand 2 feet from the fence if my arm is 3 feet long and most high-pressure cleaner nozzles are at least 2 feet long?

Community Answer

To maintain a 2-foot distance from the fence with a high-pressure cleaner, position yourself so the nozzle extends 2 feet from the fence. You can achieve this by adjusting your stance or using an extension to create the desired distance.
