.DESCRIPTION AND USES .

Wolman

DeckBrite

™

Wood Cleaner & Coating Prep is an

oxygen-activated powder concentrate cleaner for weathered

wood and a coating preparation for new wood. When mixed with

water, DeckBrite quickly and safely restores dirty, weathered-

gray, mildew and algae-stained wood to its bright, natural, like-

new look. In just 10 minutes, the oxygen-powered foaming action

deep cleans and removes stains without damaging the wood’s

cell structure or leaving a bleached out appearance. DeckBrite

also clears away traces of old water sealers from weathered

wood and invisible coating barriers (such as “mill glaze” or

excess surface wax) from new wood, enabling proper adhesion

and penetration of protective sealers or stains. Also, the 100%

biodegradable, acid and chlorine-free solution is harmless to

surrounding plant life.

.FEATURES .

 Oxygen activated, deep cleaning foam

 Environmentally safe, acid-free, chlorine-free

 Restores wood to its natural look

 Prepares surface for sealing and staining

.RECOMMENDED USES .

FOR EXTERIOR USE ONLY

Use DeckBrite to prepare or restore outdoor wood decks, fences,

siding, shakes & shingles, boat docks & boardwalks, outdoor

furniture and décor, gazebos & arbors, play sets and more.

Removes from weathered wood, ground-in dirt, mildew, mold &

algae stains, weathered gray surface, old sealers & clear finishes.

WOOD TYPES

Use on all types of pressure-treated wood, plastic and wood

composite materials, and weathered Cedar and Redwood. (For

new Cedar or Redwood, use Wolman Deck & Fence Brightener

Liquid Concentrate).

Note: New generation (non-CCA) pressure-treated lumber,

when initially installed may develop pronounced mildew growth

during the first few months of weathering. To reduce or avoid

mildew staining allow wood to weather for 1 to 3 months before

applying a protective coating. To immediately protect against

water damage, prep the surface with DeckBrite and pre-treat

with Wolman RainCoat

Clear Oil-based Water Repellent. Allow

6 months before applying a protective coating.

PRODUCT APPLICATION .

MIXING

Mix ¾ cup powder per one (1) gallon lukewarm tap water.

Solution will foam and appear bright blue. Stir thoroughly for 3-5

minutes. If using cold water, a few more minutes may be

necessary. When blue color disappears, powder is completely

dissolved, and DeckBrite solution is ready to apply. Use within 6

hours of mixing. Do not mix with any other products.

APPLY

Make sure entire wood surface is dry and free of dust, dirt and

debris. If the surface is hot to the touch or in direct sunlight,

dampen with fresh water to cool. Apply when outside

temperature is above 40°F (4°C). Working on 5-10 boards (20

square foot areas) at a time, pre-wet the surface with fresh water,

then apply the solution with a pump sprayer, brush, mop or roller.

Let sit and foam for 10 minutes. If solution dries prematurely,

keep it wet with additional solution as needed.

BRUSH or PRESSURE WASH

Briefly scrub surface with Wolman Woodworx Deck Brush or

other stiff , short-bristle brush, using moderate pressure or

pressure-wash using a 40° tip and 1,500-2,500 psi for pressure-

treated wood and composites. Use 500-1,000 psi for Cedar and

Redwood. Move lengthwise with boards to avoid cut marks

across grain. Either technique helps ensure old surface is entirely

removed.

RINSE

If pressure washing is not employed, after brushing, rinse

thoroughly with a garden hose, using the highest nozzle

pressure setting available. When dry, surface should appear

clean, bright and free of mildew and algae stains. Heavily

weathered or badly stained areas may require a second

application.

CAUTION: Bare wood and/or coated surfaces can become

slippery when wet. Use caution when walking on wet surfaces.

COVERAGE

Package contents makes 2.5 gallons of solution, enough to

cover approximately 375 square feet depending on wood age

and species, surface porosity, and method of application. One

(1) gallon of solution covers approximately 150 sq. ft.

DRY TIME

Allow the wood to dry thoroughly before applying a water-based

finish and at least 24 hours before applying an oil-based finish.
