Immediately brushing along the wood grain helps remove the loose fiber to give a smoother finish. Wood rich in tannin may darken during restoration - this is temporary. Using Clean and Brite Stripper to restore wood before a coating of stain or paint will help even penetration of the coating. The result will be a longer lasting, even and natural looking finish.

DIRECTIONS: Clean and Brite Stripper works upon applying. Dilute Clean and Brite Stripper with water up to 9 parts (makes ten gallons). 9:1 will cover 2000 sq. ft. It stronger mix is needed, use 8:1 to 1:1 mix. For best results a minimum 1500 p.s.i. water pressure is needed for rinsing; in many cases residential water pressure is not sufficient to clean roofs. In such cases, use a low pressure, pressure-washer.

WOODEN DECKS & SIDING, VINLY SIDING & FIBERGLASS: Use 3:1 strength on failed wood stains or heavily grayed wood. Apply diluted solution liberally with a pump-up garden sprayer to all areas to be treated. Mist area to maintain wet working area - do not allow drying on surface. Once coating softens, usually 15-30 minutes Agitate lightly with a stiff brush or floor broom to help remove residue. Work in the direction of grain to minimize "grain raising" on wood surface. Finally spray cleaned deck thoroughly with a garden hose or power washer to remove any cleaning residue. Rinse twice if needed and brush with the grain of the wood. For best results a minimum 1500 p.s.i. water pressure is needed for rinsing, In many cases residential water pressure is not sufficient to clean roofs. In such cases, use a low pressure, pressure-washer.
