Hi. Looking for an efficient and effective way to stain a 3276 square foot fence. My idea was to use a spot sprayer and back brush. NorthStar ATV Spot Sprayer — 16 Gallon, 2.2 GPM, 12 Volt | Broadcast + Spot Sprayers | Northern Tool + Equipment Maybe upgrade the pump? Will this spray oil-based stains without clogs i am comparing it to a regular pump up sprayer?

First, let me thank you all for providing this website and forum for people like me to use. I have been in the deck restoration for two season now, and took up a job that required cleaning the vinyl siding and refinishing the deck. I have experience with deck restoration but house washing is another field. The equipment i have isnt the best but, for cleaning decks & staining it has made me $$$$ ( you'll will laugh but you gotta work with what you got FIRST) Husky 2.3gpm 2600psi pressure washer Telescoping wand 18' High-pressure- detergent applicator - Sears: Online department store featuring appliances, tools, fitness equipment and more Solution: 5 gallon bucket 2/3gal of clorox (Regular) 32 oz Dish Soap 1 Scoop of Dish Detergent (individual packets) 3 gallon water ( I mixed well, until bucket full of soap suds) **** Also, added 1/2 gal of deck/roof cleaner I had leftover from last season ( Don't ask why, thought it would help my house wash mixture) Ok. This house is two story I used the detergent applicator to reach the second story. I applied the chemical solution let it well for 10, 15, 20, minutes then use a 40 degree tip to rinse. This is good for light dirt, mold and light mildew. The problem i'm having is when it comes to the black stains on the white vinyl ( I think is mildew) I have to use a 15 degreee tip to get it off but some stains would move at all. If I brush it or rub it with my finger it comes off but not with my pressure washer??? I need help!!! this project is taking too long and I alreadly have 2 more deck project waiting on this one to finish can someone point me in the right direction, I dont have time to order chemicals, looking for a local solution to this minor problem. 1. Rent a 4gpm pressure washer 2. Scrub the hard spot ( Please say NO) 3. Better solution/chemicals ( Monster house wash, Jomax, Something???) *** The picture attached is the house im cleaning BEFORE i started using my chemical & pressure washer.. You can't see it but I'm having trouble cleaning spots at the edges of the house and on the second story above the deck*** Thank for everything and more!!! Greg, www.kgdecks.com

New mix need advice 4 gallon bleach 6% 1 gallon water 8 oz tsp 16 oz detergent Another, bucket I might need an acid based cleaner for the hard spot, will a toilet bowl cleaner, CLR work for carbon stains/rust, RustAid OR 5 gallon bucket 5 gallon 6% bleach 8 oz TSP 16 oz Detergent ** take into consideration I don't no the proportioner on my detergent application assuming ( 1:10), would 5 gallon of straight bleach be overkill, I'm worried I will dilute too much the mix when applied with the detergent applicator found a great site for dilution ratio: http://jansson.us/mixingratio-concentration.html
