FLOOD CWF FOR HARDWOODS
CLEANING
• *
Don’t assume that new wood is clean.
Most any deck cleaner will suffice for
cleaning, but non-bleach cleaners are preferred. Cleaners
with Sodium
Percarbonate are highly effective for a thorough
cleaning. A light scrub
is
recommended with a medium bristle deck brush as pressure
washing is not
effective in removing ground-in dirt. Pressure washing can be used and is recommended for weathered decks. A Brightener product containing Oxalic Acid should be used prior to pressure washing. This will help remove previous sealer residue and weathered/worn wood to a new appearance.
*
DO NOT use steel wool on Ipe.
Carbon based metals placed in contact with
Ipe will cause a reaction that results in a black stain.
This stain cannot be
removed by sanding or general deck cleaners.
Oxalic acid is the only effective
chemical for removing this stain.
*
Allow wood to dry completely for at least 24-48 hours
after cleaning.
APPLYING
• *
Do not apply 24-48 hours before rain.
*
Brushing Flood CWF for Hardwoods with a
high quality nylon brush will
achieve best results and better penetration.
Brush in a linear motion as overlapping
will further darken those areas.
Apply thinly and evenly avoiding saturation on wood.
*
Any pooling or heavy areas should be brushed out instead
of wiping with cloth.
*
Do not apply sealer with a roller, rag, sponge, and spraying
is not recommended.
Do not
wipe down with cloth after brushing.
*
Allow to dry/cure for 24-48 hours before walking on the
deck.
