A terrific brush that will make maintaining your deck much more efficient and enjoyable. It can be used to aggitate the surface and improve results during cleaning and brightening. It is also fantastic for back-brushing stain about 30 minutes after it has been applied. Backbrushing is using the deck brush to sweep the excess stain around until it soaks into areas of the deck that can absorb more stain.
It is crucial to backbrush any areas of your freshly stained deck that look wet, shiny, or have pooled stain. If the deck surface still looks wet and shiny after backbrushing then the surface should be wiped off with a rag so that only stain that has soaked fully into the wood remains.
If allowed to surface dry without backbrushing and/or wiping, excess surface stain will remain shiny and tacky indefinitely, ruining the appearance and comfort of your deck.
Backbrushing results in less wastage than wiping with cloth or lambswool because it ensures that all purchased stain ends up in your deck boards, rather than as a flamable cloth in your waste can.
This 100% natural-bristle and hardwood brush will last for years, fits any standard broom handle, is a full 18" wide, and does not require cleaning after use backbrushing stain (the stain simply soaks into the natural bristles and cures without hardening).
