Preparing Your Surfaces

Test this product first on a small, hidden area to determine its effectiveness. Before you begin your wood cleaning project, protect your shrubs and glass surfaces by wetting them down with water and covering them in plastic. Hose off your glass frequently, too prevent streaking, and hose off your shrubs when the job is done.

Application

Apply liberally to problem surfaces. Do not apply to hot surfaces. To avoid a non-uniform appearance on vertical surfaces start at the bottom, doing a small section at a time, then continue to the top, making sure to rinse thoroughly. Let set for 15-20 minutes. Stubborn areas may require scrubbing with a stiff bristle brush. If surface begins to dry quickly, lightly mist with water.

How to use the pump sprayer:

Make sure the handle is screwed on tight before pumping. Unlock the handle by pushing down gently and turning until you feel it "click." Pump the bottle 10-20 times and as needed during application. After pumping, press the handle down and turn counter-clockwise to lock. Important: Always wear safety goggles or a face shield, rubber gloves, protective clothing and footwear when spraying. Rinse stains away using a garden hose with nozzle at maximum pressure, or a high pressure power washer. Repeat procedure if necessary.

Important: Allow cleaned surface to dry completely before staining or painting.
