A Guide to Using Deck Restoration Plus products for the Easy 3-Step Process
Deck Restoration Plus utilizes what is known as the “3-Step Process”. This method was created in order to streamline the wood restoration process and make it easier for those who are looking for an efficient way to work on their customer’s homes, or homeowners who want to restore on their own, without having to pay someone else to do it. Our products are guaranteed to give you the results you’re looking for, as long as you follow the guidelines and mixing ratios.
Step 1 - Restore
As with everything, you always want to pre-wet the surfaces you’ll be applying the chemicals to. The first step in the 3-Step Process is to use our Deck & Wood Cleaner, Restorer, or Stripper, to revitalize the wood, removing any previous coatings, and/or organic grow such as algae, mold and mildew. The goal is to bring the wood back to its natural beauty. We offer 2lb containers of our Cleaner and Cleaner/Remover, for smaller projects, and offer a 5 Gallon pail of concentrated powdered Restorer and Stripper for large/multiple projects. It is recommended you follow the mixing ratio guidelines listed on the product label. Allow the product to dwell for 10-20 minutes, and you’ll notice the wood has a much darker look to it, which brings us to our next step.
Step 2 - Brighten
After letting the product dwell for 10-20 minutes, you want to apply the Brightener directly after, wet-on-wet application. Our Brightener is made with oxalic acid and will lighten up the wood to help bring it back to its natural look. Deck & Wood Brightener comes in 2lb containers, and 5 Gallon concentrated pails. As always, follow the recommended instructions and guidelines on the container label.
Step 3 - Stain
The final step in the process is selecting a stain to apply to your surface. Our Deck & Wood Stains can be applied to dry, damp, or wet wood. It’s the durable, penetrating stain that digs itself into the fibers of the wood for maximum hold. Mildew and UV resistant, our environmentally friendly stains are the perfect choice for any wood surfaces including decks, fences, wood-sided homes, docks, playground equipment, and many other projects! We have 11 different colors, and you can see samples of colors on our project gallery.
