When mixed with water, DeckBrite quickly and safely restores dirty, weathered-gray, mildew and algae-stained wood to its bright, natural, like-new look.

Removes from weathered wood, ground-in dirt, mildew, mold & algae stains, weathered gray surface, old sealers & clear finishes. WOOD TYPES Use on all types of pressure-treated wood, plastic and wood composite materials, and weathered Cedar and Redwood.(For new Cedar or Redwood, use Wolman Deck & Fence Brightener Liquid Concentrate) . Note: New generation (non-CCA) pressure-treated lumber, when initially installed may develop pronounced mildew growth during the first few months of weathering. To reduce or avoid mildew staining allow wood to weather for 1 to 3 months before applying a protective coating. To immediately protect against water damage, prep the surface with DeckBrite and pre-treat with Wolman RainCoat® Clear Oilbased Water Repellent. Allow 6 months before applying a protective coating. PRODUCT APPLICATION MIXING Mix ¾ cup powder per one (1) gallon lukewarm tap water. Solution will foam and appear bright blue. Stir thoroughly for 3-5 minutes. If using cold water, a few more minutes may be necessary. When blue color disappears, powder is completely dissolved, and DeckBrite solution is ready to apply. Use within 6 hours of mixing. Do not mix with anyother products. APPLY Make sure entire wood surface is dry and free of dust, dirt and debris. If the surface is hot to the touch or in direct sunlight, dampen with fresh water to cool. Apply when outside temperature is above 40°F (4°C) . Working on 5-10 boards (20 square foot areas) at a time, pre-wet the surface with fresh water, then apply the solution with a pumpsprayer, brush, mop or roller. Let sit and foam for 10 minutes. If solution dries prematurely, keep it wet with additional solution as needed. BRUSH or PRESSURE WASH Briefly scrub surface with Wolman Woodworx Deck Brush or other stiff , short-bristle brush, using moderate pressure or pressure-wash using a 40° tip and 1,500-2,500 psi for pressure-treated wood and composites. Use 500-1,000 psi for Cedar and Redwood. Move lengthwise with boards to avoid cut marks across grain. Either technique helps ensure old surface is entirely removed. RINSE If pressure washing is not employed , after brushing, rinse thoroughly with a garden hose, using the highest nozzle pressure setting available. When dry, surface should appear clean, bright and free of mildew and algae stains. Heavily weathered or badly stained areas may require a second application. CAUTION: Bare wood and/or coated surfaces can become slippery when wet. Use caution when walking on wet surfaces. COVERAGE Package contents makes 2.5 gallons of solution, enough to cover a
