Wood traps dirt, pollen and grime and when using exotic hardwood lumber it pays to maintain it. The Part 1 cleaner eliminates mildew, dirt, mold and stubborn stains. It also removes graying and reconditions Ipe, Tigerwood, Cumaru, Redwood, Cedar decking and outdoor wooden furniture or hardwood siding. Rejuvenate the rich color and distinct wood grain patterns and restore the all-natural lavish color before properly refinishing. The concentrated powders are developed to clean external hardwood decks, fences, hardwood siding, wood railings, benches, chairs and other outside wooden objects.

The Cleaner Part 1 is an oxygen rich wood cleaner that contains no bleach. When you follow the instructions on the Deck and Wood Cleaner label, the product is safe to use and will not damage wood, vegetation or lawn and is bio-degradable. Do not use a power washer on hardwood lumber which could leave scars and raise the wood grain. Always scrub with a non-metal brush. Wood cleansers can easily increase the pH level of lumber. Always follow cleaning with the DeckWise® Deck and Wood Brightener Part 2.
