What is the process on a new deck? Here is what I think it is... feel free to shoot holes in it and give me other methods that work.
1. Let it age over a winter.
2. Clean it with 1/2 water, 1/2 bleach and dawn soap.
Here is where I have the most questions... Is Sodium Percarbonate an option here? What else??? I have heard of an "EFCxx" product. (some name similar to that anyways)
3. Brighten with Oxalic or Citric acid... Is this optional if certain chemicals are used in the cleaning process?
4. Seal. As long as I'm here... what are the best sealers for semi-transparent and opaque? I have used Ready Seal and I liked it... but I assume some customers will want an Opaque finish.
