Description

DeckWise Deck & Wood Cleaner (Part 1) is a powerful powder concentrate mixed 4:1 with water to clean and restore the all-natural beauty of exterior hardwood decking and other outdoor wood surfaces. It's an important, highly recommended step for achieving a beautiful wood finish. Apply it to your hardwood deck or other wood surface prior to applying a high-quality wood oil finish (such as DeckWise Ipe Oil or Ipe Oil Plus) to help bring out the true beauty of the wood's natural color. Wooden structures and wood in general trap dirt, dust, airborne, pollen and pollutants. So when expensive exotic lumber is used for a build project, it's important to take the time to maintain or restore it with a quality hardwood cleaner. The general rule of thumb is to thoroughly clean your hardwood yearly, but doing it once in the spring and once in the fall is better. Properly preparing wood before staining is a key part in extending the life of wood.

Many hardwood cleaners can increase the pH balance of lumber, generating a neutralizing acid. For best results, apply DeckWise Brightener (Part 2) after Cleaner application to stop the caustic of the cleaner, which will leave the deck/lumber in a neutral state.
