No. Generally stain is oil based. The bleaching solution does not possess the properties to remove the oil.
Yes. Once the new stain is applied it will be flush. However, the overall cohesiveness of the stain has more to do with the wood grain and other unique marks on your fence.
No. Water stains are scars on the fence and penetrate deep into the grains of the wood. Cleaning and staining the fence will improve the appearance but will not remove them. They will be visible after your fence is stained.
Why is cleaning with a bleaching solution preferred over power washing the fence?
Power washing removes a fine layer from the surface of the wood compromising its integrity. The end result of this process leaves a rough texture including splinters on the surface of the wood.

Staining the fence restores the woods natural beauty and protects from nature’s elements such as sunlight, rain, and biological attacks.
In most cases, projects are typically finished within a single day. We begin by cleaning in the morning, allowing it to dry for a few hours, and then return in the afternoon to apply the sealant and stain.
If you’re working with a side-by-side configuration, you can apply the stain immediately. However, if it’s a board-on-board setup, it’s advisable to wait for the curing process, which typically takes 6-8 weeks.

I am having my wooden fence posts replaced with steel posts and getting the fence power washed then stained and for this process the fence company has to take the fence down and put it back up tomorrow. Anybody know if there is a better way to do this without having to live with no fence for 1 day/night?
To answer your question, Yes there is a better way especially for security reasons! When replacing wooden fence posts with metal ones, it is important to maintain the stability of the fence throughout the process. Fence Makeovers does this by removing and replacing one post at a time, rather than taking down the entire fence. It should never be down nor should it be power washed due to the high pressure that will scar and splinter it. We prefer using a hydro caloric solution to remove the mildew, dirt and debris on the fence using 40 to 60 PSI equivalent to a garden sprayer and then staining it with an oil base stain.
