Features

Cabot Problem-Solver Wood Brightener #8003 is a concentrate specifically formulated to remove unsightly discoloration of wood caused by tannin bleed in extractive-prone wood species such as cedar and redwood. It also removes nail and metal rust stains.

Coverage

One gallon of diluted Cabot Problem-Solver Wood Brightener will clean approximately 200-250 square feet. These rates will vary depending on the porosity of the surface.

Where to Use

Cabot Problem-Solver Wood Brightener is ideal for use on new or previously stained, painted or unfinished wood surfaces including decks, siding, fences, railings and steps. Plus, when used on weathered wood, Cabot Problem-Solver Wood Brightener renews the rich "new wood" look.

Preparing Your Surfaces

Because it is difficult to determine the condition of the surface to be cleaned, test the recommended dilution on a small hidden area to determine its effectiveness. Cabot Problem-Solver Wood Brightener is not a paint or stain remover. It will, however, remove paint or stain in an unsound condition. This product is specially formulated to remove unsightly discoloration of wood caused by tannin bleed in extractive-prone wood species, nail and metal rust stains, and renew the wood�s appearance. Use Cabot Problem-Solver Strippers (8004 & 8005) to safely remove all stains and paints from wood surfaces. Use Cabot Problem-Solver Wood Cleaner to remove dirt, mildew stains and other foreign matter and revive wood.

Application

Apply brightener solution liberally to problem surfaces using a brush or pump-type sprayer. Let set 15 to 20 minutes. Stubborn areas may require scrubbing with a stiff bristle brush. (If surface begins to dry quickly, lightly mist with water.) Rinse off using a garden hose with nozzle at maximum pressure or a high-pressure power washer. Repeat procedure if necessary.
