Step-by-Step Bed Made with Pallets
Preparing the Wood
When you have the pallets in hand, you will notice that their structure often has staples and nails to give the desired shape to the pallets.

If you find pieces of rotten wood or that will not be interesting in your decoration, discard them.
Mold can be fought off by spraying a solution of water and bleach. Leave it for a few minutes and use a piece of cloth to remove the mold.
Treatment
This is the stage of beautifying your pallets. At this point, you should already know what color they will have, whether they will be rustic anyway or will receive a different treatment.
