"Ultimate Deck Cleaner for Finished Wood" was created specifically to clean and rejuvinate decks with a reasonably-intact stain or finish. This one-step cleaner will not remove or harm an existing coating, yet will remove all dirt, grime, mildew, tannin, water, and rust stains. Regular cleaning, as well as cleaning before restaining, prolongs the life of your deck and stain by eliminating the food source that attracts and sustains wood-damaging organisms.
It is crucial to clean your deck very well before restaining. If unwanted particles are not fully removed from the deck beforehand, the stain may draw these particles down into the wood and bind them there permanently. In addition to permanently ruining the appearance of your deck, these drawn-down particles provide food for damaging organisms to move deeper into your wood.
In addition to providing deep cleaning, "Ultimate Deck Cleaner for Finished Wood" will also leave your deck at the proper Ph-level to optimize stain penetration and adhesion. The proper Ph is particularly important for tropical hardwoods, as stains need all the help they can get to penetrate these dense woods and bind to their natural-oil-filled fibres.
When properly diluted one container will clean about 800 square feet of deck surface.
TIP: Customers find our Ultimate Deck Brush makes their cleaning and staining jobs much quicker, easier and more effective.
