Deck Brightener (Part B) will brighten up to 500 square feet of wood surface per 16 oz jar. One container makes up to five gallons of brightening solution. Stronger mix ratios can be used on tougher jobs but will result in lower coverage rates.

For cleaning only, or for hardwood, pine, or pressure treated wood, use just Wood & Deck Cleaner (Part A):
Sweep excess debris (dirt and leaves) off the deck. Wet the deck surface down with clean water from the hose. Dissolve Wood & Deck Claner (Part A) in warm water at the recommended strength.

After waiting for several minutes for product to dissolve and activate, apply with a mop or sprayer. Let the product sit on the deck surface for at least 10 minutes, making sure to keep the deck wet with more product if it begins to dry out.

Scrub the deck boards with the grain of the wood. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Allow the deck to dry for at least a day or two in good weather before applying any stain or finish.
