Application
Be careful! Your decking might become slippery during cleaning.
- Pour the Decking Cleaner & Reviver directly onto your decking.
- Use a stiff brush and scrub the surface straight away.
- Leave it alone for 15-20 minutes.
- Use a pressure washer to wash off the cleaner and remove dirt. Work from one end of a decking board to the other in one continuous motion.
- If you don’t have a pressure washer, scrub the surface with a stiff brush and hose it down.
- Make sure you remove all cleaning residue for the best results.
- Allow the deck to dry thoroughly before applying new coatings.
Top tip:
Ronseal Decking Cleaner & Reviver can also be used to remove waterproofing treatment present on new decks; just follow the steps above. When you're done and the deck is dry, sprinkle a small amount of water on the deck and make sure it doesn't bead on the surface; if it doesn't bead then the pre-treatment is removed.
