We used to use Wolman powdered cleaner but, then, couldn’t find it. I used the liquid kind a few times but it’s quite expensive and the extra is in such a large container, you need to have adequate space to store it. I found this and decided to try it. I was very pleased and when you mix it yourself, you get more for the money and the container stores easily. It cleaned all the moldy and dark stains from our covered porch and exposed decking. I mixed it and applied with a deck sprayer. I scrubbed a few troublesome spots with a stiff brush on a broom handle. Rinsed with the garden hose. Let dry. Repeat if you think you need to. I did follow up with deck brightener and then stain. My spaces turned out beautiful! Review: WOW! Made my 30yo deck look brand new! - Very easy to apply. It was definitely easier on a cloudy day. When I worked on a sunny day, the product did dry out quickly. As the cleaner sat (between 10-15 minutes), the dirt and mildew just came to the top of the wood. Gave it a good scrub, then rinsed well. Amazing results! I had power washed the deck last year with a different cleaner. Hands down, Defy is the winner! ## Features - DEEP CLEANS WOOD SURFACES: Oxygenated bleach formula penetrates and opens wood pores for maximum stain absorption.

I wondered if the Deft Brightner would really do anything, but the Defy Stain said to use the Brightener to neutralize the wood cleaner. What amazed me was that the Brightener took the wood from a clean but slightly weather look to wood that looked like it had just been delivered from the mill. I would answer Yes use the Brightener for cleaner wood and a better stain. **Q: My ipe screen porch floor is graying where there is no rug. Will this bring it back to the dark color?** A: No in fact it might make it brighter. It's not going to bring the color back but more just cleaning the wood before you re-stain. **Q: Can this be used on a redwood fence to remove mold? With our drought, I prefer not to power wash.** A: I used this product on a cedar deck that hadn't been cleaned since the mid 1990's. The amount of organic debris that came off was truly stunning. Follow directions and use youtube videos for 'how to.' I called the manufacturer and found them to be very helpful, too. I used the 'brightener' afterwards - an acid that lightens the wood and neutralizes the ph. That is important, too. I cannot vouch that the product is good for redwood, but I'd imagine it is. I would read-up or call the manufacturer to make sure. As a chemistry major and rookie at 'cleaning' wood decks, I couldn't be happier with my decision using Defy products.

Hands down, Defy is the winner! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I strongly recommend a brightener as well... *by I***8 on July 2, 2019* After reading many reviews here I thought this would be a good and safe method to clean my acacia wood (a cheap teak substitute) patio furniture without risking harm to my surrounding garden plants. Having had a well meaning BF "wash" and oil my 3 year old "teak" last year encasing yucky black mildew into the finish I was eager to restore the wood to a more appealing shade. I had no idea how much elbow grease it would take; my wrists were aching for days. If you're in a situation like mine I highly suggest getting a nylon bristle drill attachment though maybe it won't be so bad if your wood hasn't been previously oiled. I could not bring myself to sacrifice a week off work (from carpal tunnel pain) and scrub every inch but there was a definite improvement...and then it dried. The wood took on a bit of a powdery appearance, not because I had failed to rinse it well but because I didn't realize I needed to use a wood brightener following the treatment to (presumably) neutralize the oxygen bleach (according to many sources I found) and further strip away the impurities. Here I was assuming brightener was only a suggestion...oh well. I guess I could have left it be, but I knew it would irk me if I did. Not wanting to make a special trip to big box stores, nor wait till the following weekend I made the trip to our tiny, old fashioned, local hardware store and picked up a box of oxyalic acid (the key ingredient in wood brighteners) for about $8. After treating the furniture to that (you can find directions online) I neutralized the acid with baking soda, rinsed the crap out if it and let it dry. At this point it looked pretty dull but much cleaner. Finally I oiled it all with tung oil twice, and scrubbed the raised grain with a coarse scrubber pad and sandpaper between coats. While not a perfect job my wood is now a natural shade of brown and no longer an embarrassing, murky mess. Now if I can just figure out how to keep the birds off of it... ## Frequently Bought Together - DEFY 2 LB Wood Deck Cleaner Powdered Concentrate - For Decks, Fences, Siding, & More - Covers Up to 1,000 Sq.
