I have some nice 4/4 x8" that I'd like to use as board and batten siding that will be visable on the front of a shed. It has some mildew stain(cut and left unstacked for several days before I had my drying shed built.) Will pressure washing and bleaching remove the mildew stain?
TIA

Just the bleach solution will do it. Nothing gained using the pressure washer, that I can imagine.
10% bleach and after a short period of time, just hose it off. Nothing there will need blasting.
The more uniform you can apply the bleach, the less likely you will get blotching. A garden sprayer might work good to apply it uniformily.
Thanks Beenthere,
A stiff brush got most of it off and I went ahead and nailed it up. I'll try the bleach to get the last of it.

I would run it through a planer.
I'd set the nails before you run that wall through the planer ;D.
If you use bleach rinse well after to remove any residue, its a wood pulper.
:D :D :D Good one DonP, I was thinking exactly the same thing about setting the nails. :D :D :D
