    One more question. I have a small area of mildew on my deck, built one year ago, along the strip where it abuts my house's vinyl siding. Is warm water and dish soap sufficient, or do I need a bleach mixture? Thanks!

      Watered down bleach (1 to 4) if the RAD products do not remove it.

    Question about mix proportions/measurement of the cleaner and brightener. Thinking dry measuring cups here, i.e. if I was measuring flour for baking. Sorry if this is obvious, just trying to do things right. :)

    I will be using a 1 gallon pump sprayer.

    Cleaner - Directions say to add 6 oz. of cleaner to 1 gallon warm water. Is that 3/4 dry cup?

    Brightener - Directions say to stir 1 cup of brightener per gallon of warm water. So, 1 dry cup?

    Thanks in advance for answering what is probably a simple question.

      6-8 oz per gallon of water for both products. One cup is 8 oz.

    What product can I use to CLEAN the surface of my cedar deck to remove pollen, algae, mildew etc. but NOT prepare for staining. Just to clean. What is safe that will not harm the TWP stain?

    A co worker suggested dish soap, simple green or wet and forget. Your thoughts? 
    thank you

      Warm water with a little bit of dish soap. Wet and Forget would help as well with mold.

    I'll be using your cleaner and brightener on a deck and porch that is right up against the vinyl siding on the house side of the deck and porch. Will either of these products damage the siding? This is the siding that is on my house. I will be taping for the staining part of the project, but that will be easier to manage than spraying the cleaner/brightener. Thanks for your assistance.

      Prewet and rinse over spray right away and you should have no issues.

    After using gemini restore and brighten kit on a cedar fence, I have fine fuzz on the wood. Should this be sanded off before staining. Thanks

      You can lightly sand or buff it off but it does not have to be done.

    Had 1 year old new deck.  Stained last year with Twp semisolid.  Power washed and he was provided your recommended kit.   Guy applying must not have known what he was doing because it needs to be redone because it has worn off everywhere.   What steps should we follow?

    I applied 1500 series too thickly in a couple spots a few years ago. The rest of the deck is ready for cleaning and restaining, but I have a couple blotchy peeling spots on the deck. Any tips to handle this?

    David L · 08/09/2022
    I'm cleaning a deck I applied TWP 1500 about 6 years ago.  Do I need to use both restore a deck cleaner and restore a deck brightener or do I just need to use the cleaner?  Also, the deck needs at least 48 hours to dry before applying stain?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 08/10/2022
      Use both. 48 hours after to stain.

    We built a new deck 3 years ago, and let time get away and are just now going to stain it for the first time.  We have very little traffic on the deck so it doesn't have but surface dirt.  Would a light power washing be sufficient to clean before staining? Also what is the difference between the 100 and 1500 series stain?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 07/22/2022
      You will need the Gemini Kit while pressure washing. Difference between the stains is VOCs and what is allowed your state.

    my deck is six years old cedar, I power washed and sanded   three times already and try different   products   that been highly recommended newer get good results they were all oil base now I am   recommended to try water based semi solid product. my deck is again sand and washed and ready could you please share your opinion and lead PS; my deck exposed to sun all day

      Don't use a water-based semi-solid, it would look like a paint. The best option is TWP 100 or 1500 Series. Easy to maintain by cleaning/staining every 2-3 years and shows the natural wood grain.

      No stain will last more than 2-3 years on a deck so you want one that penetrates and can be cleaned and recoated when needed.

    How do you wait between applying cleaner and brighter and when can you re stain?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 07/19/2022
      You brighten right after the cleaner. Stain 48 hours later.

        What is the maximum time to apply the brightener after the cleaner?  My deck is just under 600 square feet.  Does the wood need to be wet with cleaner before applying the brightener? How long would it take to apply the cleaner using a pump sprayer (average)?
        • We will reply to your comment shortly
          TWP Stains · 10/08/2022
          Do it right after cleaning while the wood is wet. No idea how long it will take you to do the prep process. Tha varies based on experience, etc.

    Is the cleaner and brightener safe for painted wood siding?

    Kyle · 06/26/2022
    Do you have a link to where I can just buy the cleaner? I have plenty of brightener left over for a stretch of fence, but just need the cleaner. I can't seem to find that by itself. It used to be sold in a red and white RAD bag that would mix and make 5 gallons.
