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.

Note: Restore-A-Deck Wood Brightener is not formulated to remove intact paint, stain, or clear finishes. This brightener is not a cleaner. It will not remove grayed wood fibers. It is meant to serve as a wood brightener and pH balance after using a deck cleaner or stain stripper.

    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.

    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.

    I just pressure washed a 20yr. old cedar deck and the wood looks clean and natural colored. Do I need to use Wood Brightener on it? I'm not interested in bright wood so much as having the stain go deep into the wood and bond well.
    Thanks

    The brightener will help the stain to penetrate better into the wood.

    I've gotten some old stain mostly removed from my deck last year, but there's still a little left that needs to be stripped. Plus the deck has been sitting without stain on it for 9-12 months, so it's has some greying on it. Should I finish stripping and then use the cleaner and brightener, or just finish stripping and use the brightener?

    Finish stripping all wood then brighten. You may have to rewash the areas that have grayed.

    Do you have to cover plants and lawn around the deck when you use the stripper and brightener to protect them from any caustic reaction?

    Yes you should cover well or prewet and rinse right away any over spray.

    In the process of stripping all paint and paint film off pine siding with mix of Borax, washing soda and ammonia, I may have cleaned the wood accidentally; it looks like it, turned golden. I have a little more film to "clean off." Can I go straight to a brightener now before 100 series?

    As long as all of the old stain is removed then you should be okay.

    If I use you stain remover and am then going to apply stain do I need the brightener?

    Yes you have to use the wood brightener to neutralize and restore the wood color before applying the stain.

    I recently power washed a small redwood deck. It's stripped of all dirt and stains. Can I just apply brightener without using cleaner first before staining?

    Yes that would be fine.
