Fence Cleaning Made Easy: How Lacq Turbogel Revived a Weathered Fence

Highlight

• Vertical Cling: Perfect for upright fence panels.
• Biodegradable: Safe around garden plants and lawn edges.
• Pre-Paint Prep: Leaves wood ready for stains or protective finishes.

Introduction

A weathered fence can drag down the entire look of your garden. Traditional cleaners often drip away, wasting product. Lacq Turbogel clings firmly to fence panels—dissolving dirt, algae, and greyed layers—so you can easily rinse them off, revealing wood that’s ready for re-staining or painting.

Background & Challenge

Client Background

A homeowner aimed to brighten their back-garden fence before applying a new protective stain. The fence’s texture and vertical orientation made typical liquid solutions run off without fully cleaning.

Challenge

• Vertical Panels: Hard to keep cleaning liquid in place.
• Dirt & Mild Algae: Built up over years of neglected maintenance.
• Sustainable Choice: The client wanted a product safer for the environment than harsh chemical strippers.

Initial Conditions

Some peeling paint remained from a previous coating, with large patches of greyish timber exposed.

The Solution & Implementation

How the Product Was Used

1. Initial Sweep

   • Loose dirt and flaking paint were scraped and brushed off.

2. Gel Application

   • Lacq Turbogel was spread up and down the fence, adhering well to the vertical surface.

3. Wait & Scrub

   • After 20 minutes, the homeowner used a stiff brush to remove old residue.

4. Rinse

   • A gentle hose-down cleared away loosened grime; no run-off damage to nearby plants.

Our technical team recommended the fence dry fully (~48 hours) before applying a new stain.

Results & Customer Feedback

Outcomes

• Clean, Bright Timber: The fence’s natural colour re-emerged, ready for restaining.
• Minimal Mess: Gel consistency prevented extensive run-off onto the lawn.
• Eco Appeal: The homeowner appreciated the low-impact formula and easy disposal of rinse water.
