0 Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted September 1, 2015 Thanks! That deck belongs to a great repeat customer of ours, he loves his deck. He used to hate it, and was very frustrated with it until he met our company. Beth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 boho444 14 Report post Posted April 28, 2016 I have restore a deck cleaner and brightener that I use. When I go to reseal a deck with another coat of Armstrong Clark do I need to brighten as well or just clean? Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 RPetry 564 Report post Posted April 28, 2016 Depends what you are cleaning with! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 RPetry 564 Report post Posted April 29, 2016 Bobby, Just noticed you are using "Restore a Deck". AFAIK, this is primarily sodium percarbonate which in solution has a pH of ~ 10 - 10.5. Thereby caustic. Follow up with a acid neutralizer and after a bit, a water rinse. 1 Beth n Rod reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted April 29, 2016 A brightener/Neutralizer can't hurt in most cases. Many deck maintenance cleaners are formulated with oxalic acid. Rod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 RPetry 564 Report post Posted April 30, 2016 ... Many deck maintenance cleaners are formulated with oxalic acid. Rod AFAIK, no acid, oxalic, citric, or other acids (lord forbid), clean wood. And anyone marketing a caustic cleaner mixed at the same time with an acid is a shyster. A cleaning on wood with a percarbonate or a sodium hydroxide stripper or stronger caustic, yeah, an acid is more than mandatory. Just a clean and additional stain, sodium hypochlorite and a bit of soap, and light PW, followed by a good water rinse is much better for the existing stain in and on the wood.

0 Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted May 1, 2016 Great way to expound on that one Rick. That is true. My intent was to help direct the inquirer to where they could find oxalic acid commonly until they are ready to buy in quantity. At that point, bulk would be the most cost effective.
