Description
Endeavour Timber Deck Cleaner is the preparation step before oiling any deck, new or old. It is a triple-action, water-based cleaner from Prep Productions' Endeavour range that cleans away grime, grease, mould, algae and mildew, restores stained and dirty boards to sound timber, and rejuvenates grey, weathered decks so they brighten back towards their natural colour. On new boards it strips out natural tannins, helping your decking oil penetrate evenly and last longer.
Formula overview
A water-based solution whose two key actives work together: oxalic acid brightens the timber and lifts tannin staining, while benzalkonium chloride, a biocide, deals with mould, algae and mildew. The concentrate is a pale, clear liquid that dilutes in water for application.
Where to use it
Outdoor: all new and weathered exterior timber, with decks the headline use. Also suited to preparing other exterior timber surfaces before finishing.
Indoor: not intended for interior surfaces. This is an exterior timber preparation product.
How to use
- Dilute with water as directed on the pack label.
- Apply the diluted solution with a deck scrub, working it into the boards.
- Rinse thoroughly and allow the timber to dry before oiling. Follow the label for contact time and drying guidance.
- Coverage is 5 to 10 square metres per litre when diluted, depending on timber porosity and texture.
Important notes
- This is a Schedule 6 poison. Store it tightly closed, away from children and pets.
- Wear gloves and protective clothing: the concentrate is harmful in contact with skin and if swallowed.
- Prevent runoff entering drains, garden beds or waterways, and rinse surrounding plants with water if splashed.
- May settle on standing; stir before use.
