Wooden fences, as a rule, deteriorate quickly. Ultraviolet, snow, rain and wind have a negative effect on wood.

This information was reported by Tsn, reports “URA-Inform”.

Even if you paint or treat a fence with expensive complex protective compounds, it quickly loses its appearance and quality. While in America, wooden fences last 30 years like new.

At the same time, Americans do not sand or paint their fences every year. As it turns out, Americans treat wooden fences with a special product called “30 Second Cleaner”, which returns the wood to its natural color. In composition, it is an aqueous solution of oxalic acid.

The solution is very easy to make

It is necessary to dissolve 1 kilogram of oxalic acid in 10 liters of warm, not hot water. If not all is mixed, add a little more water (the fact is that 10 liters of water is the minimum volume for dissolving 1 kg of acid). Then pour the solution into the sprayer and treat the fence with it.

Next, you should distribute the solution after application to prevent uneven bleaching. After cleaning, you need to thoroughly rinse the surface until the white marks disappear. It is used to treat wood, before sanding, make sure that there are no white marks left.

When using this product, you need to wear protective clothing, such as glasses and rubber gloves. Also, when working with dry crystals, take extra precautions to prevent inhalation or other internal exposure.

Oxalic acid is noted to be effective in removing many types of stains on wood, including black water stains, weather stains, and tannin stains.

Recall that it was previously reported why young Japanese women constantly wear diapers: the answer will surprise many.
