Description
Essential Deck Cleaner is a high-performance cleaner specially formulated for wooden decks and other outdoor hard surfaces like artificial decking and garden furniture. Unlike acid-based treatments, its alkaline-based solvent won't damage wooden decking. It effectively removes layers of filth, grime, slimy green algae, lichen, and black spots, even from neglected decks.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Specifically designed for wooden decks and outdoor hard surfaces
- Alkaline-based solvent won't damage wooden decking
- Can be applied directly or diluted 1:1 depending on contamination level
- Covers up to 50m² per 5L container on average
How to Apply:
- Ensure personal protection with gloves, protective eyewear, face mask, and clothing. Remove any dust and debris from the work surface.
- Prepare the Essential Deck Cleaner solution by using it neat or diluting 1:1 with fresh water. Test a small area to determine the appropriate dilution rate and dwell time. Apply generously using a pump sprayer, watering can, or directly from the bucket.
- Allow the cleaning fluid to sit on the surface for at least an hour, ensuring it remains wet. Mist with additional cleaning fluid or water as needed to prevent drying. Use a brush for stubborn stains while keeping the surface wet.
- Leave the solution to dwell for at least 2 hours.
- After at least two hours, rinse the treated surface with fresh water to neutralize the cleaner before power washing off for best results. Take precautions to avoid splattering the cleaning solution on vegetation, as it may damage or kill it. Rinse vegetation thoroughly with clean water if exposed.
- For areas with significant soiling, extend the dwell period up to 4 hours or overnight if necessary before power washing off. Test a small area to determine the dwell time needed for optimal results.
Note: The primary ingredient in Essential Deck Cleaner is a chlorine-type compound, which may discolor textiles and sensitive materials. Avoid contact with fabrics and tarmac during application. Test the product on-site in an inconspicuous area before full application.
