Once you use a hardwood cleaner such as the DeckWise® Wood Cleaner Part 1, imagine it as a detergent. It takes out dust and dirt from the wood’s surface. The DeckWise® Wood Brightener Part 2 on the other hand, takes away tannin stains from hardwoods which are vulnerable to extractive bleeding as well as stripping dirt, rust, grime, and fungi stains from solid wood surfaces. Woods such as cedar and redwood fall into that classification. Tannins tend to be naturally occurring in many woods and show up as a dark discoloration once the lumber has been subjected to moisture.
The DeckWise® Wood and Deck Brightener Part 2 is a powder concentrate sold in 16 oz. containers mixed 4:1 with water to brighten and restore the all-natural charm of exterior hardwood decking and rainscreen siding. Also use on hardwood fences, railings and steps.
Our hardwood brightener is an oxygenated hardwood brightener that contains the active ingredient Oxalic Acid and is also a pH neutralizer . The brightener will re-establish the pH level regarding your hardwood which causes it to become neutrally balanced and ready for oiling or staining. Once neutral, hardwoods are ready to accept the stain or oil finish more evenly and that will certainly increase the lifetime of the finish .
The objective of our product is to “brighten” the wood’s color while canceling the caustic impact from hardwood cleansers and deck stain strippers. It additionally assists to prepare new hardwood decking and siding by stripping mill glaze. It can additionally be applied to remove rusty areas from concrete, brick, and masonry.
The DeckWise® Wood and Deck Brightener Part 2 is capable of brightening up to 600 sq. ft. (55 m2) of lumber surface per 16 oz. jar. If you think you have a challenging job, one can easily mix a more powerful solution, but this might result in a lower coverage level. Manufactured to be included with the Wood Cleaner Part 1, it is a concentrate which can make up to 5 gallons dependent on the strength and applications needed.
Even new hardwood should be cleaned to remove lumber mill scale in order to render the surface extra porous to comfortably absorb hardwood stains. DeckWise® Wood Brightener is the second stage in a three-step method to protect your build project and keep it looking like new.
