DESCRIPTION
Restore-A-Deck Wood Brightener is a biodegradable, powdered concentrate that is mixed with water to brighten and restore the natural beauty of all species of exterior wood. This product excels at brightening, removing rust stains, and tannin stains caused by fallen leaves. Restore-A-Deck Wood Brightener is a safe, product that will not only brighten but neutralize the surface of the wood, creating an ideal surface that is ready to be stained.

This product is step 2 of the Restore A Deck system.

WHERE TO USE
Restore-A-Deck Wood Brightener is intended for use on all types of weathered, exterior wood surfaces including decks, fences, siding, outdoor furniture, gazebos, and playsets.

Recommended for surface preparation prior to initial application of semi-transparent finishes and stains. The product can be used as a cleaner and brightener for redwood, or as a neutralizer to further brighten wood species, like pine, that have been cleaned with Restore-A-Deck Wood Cleaner or stripped with Restore-A-Deck Stain Stripper. For lasting protection of your exterior wood, after using Restore-A-Deck Wood Brightener, treat the surface with Restore-A-Deck Premium Wood Stain.

    I dripped stain onto aluminum power coated rails. What should I use to remove?

    I've power washed my deck, but I still see spots of mold stain which I believe the mold is deep penetrated in deck wood. Would this brightener remove the mold stain? If it doesn't any recommendation of other products or alternatives, please?

          That looks old stain that has not come off. Stripper while pressure washing and then Brightener.

    If I am sanding my deck to get it flat again do I still need the brightner.  My deck has never been stained. I am going to use the TWP 100 rustic stain.

      Yes use it after the sanding and do not sand finer than 60-80 grit.

    Can Restore A Deck Brightener be used safely on a composite wood deck, such as Trex? Trex says brighteners with oxalic acid can be used.  Is oxalic acid the base for your brightener? or is it something else?
    Thanks

      You can use the RAD Brightener on composite decks.

    My deck  measures 16’x26’ and 40’ of railing but no spindles as they will be a different colour and 5 steps of 6’ wide.  How much stain will I need? I sanded my whole deck, will I need a brighter?

    Do I need to mask off my siding (painted with Sherwin Williams Exterior Acrylic Latex paint) before applying the BRIGHTER with a pump sprayer?

      No, just pre-wet and rinse well any overspray when done.

    Can you apply this product to the wood when it is still wet after pressure washing or should you wait until the wood is dry?

    After stripping and brightening the deck, is it ok to wait a week or two before re-staining?

    I just finished power washing my deck. Not sure how old it is, but the wood looks good. It's been recommended I let the power-washed wood dry for a week or more before moving on to brightener. Would you agree? And after brightener (and rinsing the brightener), how long before I stain with a clear oil stain?

    You do not wait a week after the pressure washing to apply a brightener. Brighteners (and cleaners) are used during the pressure washing process to aid in the outcome and for better overall prep. Apply the brightener now would best.

    I contacted you earlier, but have forgotten steps to follow in restaining or sealing a deck that has has one tome sealer on it for about 6 years. Where can I find your reply or would you reanswer it?

    You will need to prep with the Restore A Deck Stain Stripper kit for this to remove the OneTime stain:

    Margaret Leinhauser:
    Three decks, including steps, total
    415 sq ft. How much stain and brightener do we need? Decks 7 months old and never stained. I assume the brightened is the only prep needed.

    thanks

    You need to clean and brighten for the prep. Use the Gemini Restore Kits.

    1 Gemini Kit
    3 Gallons of Stain. Only 1 coat on new wood.

    John R:
    Thanks for the prompt answer! Two more questions: 1. Should I use the stripper if there's nothing to strip?
    2. When I recoat with TWP 100 (in 2 years), do I need to do the 2 step prep?
    Thank you

    Use the Cleaner, not the stripper. When redoing in 2-3 years, you will need to prep by cleaning and brightening.
