How to clean your wood deck with
oxalic acid deck brightener
Even new wood needs cleaning to remove mill scale, making the surface more
porous to easily absorb deck stains. Defy Wood Brightener is the 2nd step in
a 3 step system to maintain your deck and keep it looking like new. The 3
steps are:
- Clean or strip using
Defy Wood Cleaner
or
Defy Exterior Stain Stripper
- Brighten using Defy Wood Brightener
- Apply Defy water repellent wood stains
Defy Wood Brightener is a liquid concentrate
sold in 1 gallon containers. 1 gallon of Defy oxalic acid deck brightener
makes 5 gallons of solution and will clean approximately 500-1,000 total
square feet (or 100-200 square feet per gallon). Defy Wood Brightener is not
formulated to remove intact paint, stain, or clear finishes and may dull
painted and metal surfaces if not quickly rinsed. |
