    We have applied TWP 100 Rustic 116 to our cedar shutters and front porch cedar columns over the last several years but just used a pressure washer to clean them before reapplying.  Are you recommending Restore-A-Deck before reapplication of TWP 100 and if so would we use both cleaner and brightener?

      Yes, correct. Use while pressure washing.

    I have a very old deck and pressure washed the deck first which brought out the white in the wood (Oxygination I believe), then I sanded the deck and used the Gemini Restore a Deck kit after the sanding. The deck looks much better now and I am ready to stain it but there is still quite a bit of white looking wood (see picture attached). I bought 1500 series HoneyTone stain, will it stain OK? Will the white go away once I stain it? Thanks!

    Do you need to cover steel siding when using stripper, cleaner or brightner?

      No, but rinse well with water when done.

    I had certain parts of my deck & stairs replaced with fresh wood and I need to stain them. I want to prep the fresh wood for stain without damaging the stain that is already applied on the surrounding wood. How should I use this kit. Thank you.

    Would I need this if I sand the deck since the previous owner did a poor stain job on the deck?

    Do you need to use this before staining cedar treated wood that has never been stained before?

      If you are stripping then you do not need this kit. Neutralize with this: https://www.twpstain.com/restore-a-deck-wood-brightener-detail

        In the Instructions of the cleaner it says that if an existing covering is on the wood than it needs to be stripped first before using this product. Will this product neutralize the stripper?
        • We will reply to your comment shortly
          TWP Stains · 04/26/2023
          The cleaner does not neutralize the stripper. The brightener does and is needed. You do not need to use the cleaner if you are stripping.

    About too start my 3rd annual refresh of my redwood fence. For the last two years I've used the Restore-A-Deck kit, followed by TWP1530 48-72 hours later. Typically I just use a scrub brush with the cleaner, spray with the brightener, and then rinse. This year I am a little late doing all of this, and my fence seems dirtier than normal. Do you suggest power-washing first? Usually just a regular hose rinse does the trick, but is there a major benefit to using a power washer instead? Thanks!

      Pressure wash while using the cleaner, then use the Brightener. Much faster and easier.

        Are you suggesting putting the cleaner in the pressure washer soap dispenser? Just want to make sure. Thank you!

          TWP Stains · 04/21/2023
          No. You apply the cleaner with a pump sprayer and then pressure wash off. It will not work injected through a pressure washer.

    Will Restore a deck remove paint on LP siding?  Only want to clean the cedar siding and reseal.  Also, for application to cedar siding is sprayer then power wash the proper procedure?  TIA

      The Cleaner will not remove paint unless the paint is already peeling. Apply the cleaner with a pump sprayer and then lightly pressure wash off.

    When using this restore a deck kit cleaner and brightener, how much of the old TWP stain does it remove? I’m guessing just a little? So the deck will have stain after prepping but the stain will be lighter/faded?

      That varies based on how much the stain has deteriorated through the years. Sometimes just a little, sometimes most of it will come off.

    Can anyone tell me what color this is.  I spoke with this contractor who said he uses a light brown or natural over redwood, but none of the pics on this site seem to get close with the exception of Pecan.  Thanks

    I used TWP Rustic for the first time 3 yrs ago on my new deck. I think I’m ready to do a maintenance re-coat with same stain. The stain on the main covered deck is still in pretty good shape except on the porch and steps which is showing alittle mold.  I pressure washed the in entire deck. What would be my next step? Thank you for your assistance

        I noticed on the website the following info.

        Gemini Restore Kit is best for gray and weathered wood surfaces and may not be best for removing old deck stains or sealers.  Im wondering if it’s still good to use the Gemini restore kit.  Jim

          Yes, use the Gemini Kit for prep when recoating.

    How does this Gemini kit affect stainless steel?  We are cleaning our cedar deck and reapplying your stain (1500 series) as soon as weather permits. We added a ramp to our deck for the dog. It has stainless steel sides with cedar boards stained with your product as well.  Can we use this product on the ramp knowing it will touch the stainless steel sides okay?  Will the cleaner damage the steel at all?

    Deck has new clear kiln dried redwood installed 6 months ago and exposed to weather per your instruction..planning to use cedar tone 1501...
    Should we use restore a deck before staining?
    If not what?

    What is proper order..clean/brighten..power wash...sand...vacuum..stain??
    Thanks,Stan

      Hi Stan. Are you able to post some pics of the cedartone 1501 over your redwood? I'm trying to find a more natural look that has more of an amber tone that the pecan "appears" to have. Thanks

      Use the Gemini Restore A Deck Kit for prep. No need to sand. Prep, let dry for 48 hours, and then stain.

        Is power wash done at same time as restore a deck?
        Our other deck and the vertical flower box etc surrounding was stained with 1501 about 3 years ago.It's ready to be redone however has some old stain remaining.
        Should this be lightly sanded, restore a deck/power washed and stained?

          TWP Stains · 04/04/2023
          -Yes, you pressure wash while using the kit
          -No need to sand. Most of the old TWP will come off with the kit and pressure washing.

    Can I use this kit without re-staining ?

    Last summer, I used the kit, and stained a shed+shed roof. I just want to clean it good this summer without re-staining and wondering if I should use the kit or just soap and water for this years light cleaning maintenance?

      Prep with the Gemini Restore Kit and stain with the TWP 1500 Series. As for how much, we would need a total sq footage of all wood to help properly.

    My walls and roof over my deck are stained with 1503 DARK OAK. I need to touch up parts where it gets the most sun. It's been 5 years and has done really well. Will this cleaner effect areas that are stained and do not want to re-stain? The desk itself is trex like decking (timbertech), will the cleaner and brightener effect the color or will it just clean the timbertech on contact. I used this cleaner when I prepped 5 years ago but the decking wasn't in place.

      You cannot spot clean and stain. You will need to prep and stain all. The prep will not harm the composite but always pre-wet and rinse overspray.
