American hardwoods, exotic hardwoods

such as Mahogany, Teak, Ipé etc..

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 stain

ing allow wood to weather for 1 to 3 months before

before applying a protective coating.

Compatibility:

This product will clean but not remove oil or latex

stains and paints in sound condition. Care should be

taken to cover any exposed aluminum surfaces to prevent

discoloration, as this product is corrosive to metal. Once

dry, surfaces cleaned with this product may be coated with oil or

water-base water repellents, transparent finishes, colored

stains or paints.

Mixing:

In a five gallon plastic bucket, combine one gallon concentrate

with four gallons water to make five gallons solution, enough to

clean/prepare approximately 750 sq. ft. Each gallon of solution

cleans approximately 150 sq. ft. If less than five gallons solution

is needed, use a plastic measuring device to combine one part

concentrate with four parts water. Stir for one minute or until

solution is thoroughly blended. Do not mix with any other

products.  Rinse plants with water after exposure.

Pre-rinse grass, plants and shrubs surrounding wood

structure to be cleaned. Cover any exposed aluminum

surfaces to prevent corrosion. Sweep away surface dust, dirt

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

sunlight, dampen with fresh water to cool.

Application:

Apply when outside temperatures are between

40°F. and 90°F
Pre-wet surface with fresh water.

Working on 20 sq. ft. at a time to maintain optimum surface

wetness, apply solution and let sit and foam for 10 minutes.

If solution dries prematurely, keep it wet with additional

solution as needed.

On horizontal surfaces:

Apply solution with a pump sprayer, airless sprayer,

brush, mop or roller.

On vertical surfaces:

Apply solution with a pump sprayer or deep-nap roller,
working from the bottom to the top of the

structure.

Brush or Pressure Wash:

Brush:

Briefly scrub surface with Wolman WOODWORX® Deck

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

Pressure wash:

Use a 40° tip and 1,500-2,500 PSI for pressure-treated wood
and hardwood, 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 pressure

nozzle setting available. On a vertical surface, continually

rinse brightened areas to avoid streaking. Rinse any wood

fibers off surrounding surfaces immediately. When dry,

wood surface should appear clean, bright and free of mildew

and algae stains.

Recommended Number of Coats – Apply one (1) coat,

and allow to sit for the entire recommended time of 10 minutes.

Heavily weathered, extremely dirty 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.

Clean tools and equipment after use with water.

Storage:

Store unused concentrate in the closed, original labeled container.
