Flood ® Brightener Cleaner - Photo Journey

We have been asked many times to show how to use Flood ® Brightener Cleaner. To answer, we took photos of a grayed deck and used the Flood ® product line to see how it would rejuvenate the decking.

Gray Deck Sample: This decking has never been treated with finisher. It was purposely left out in the sun so we could demonstrate Flood ® Brightener Cleaner. (Check the below) Mixing: You mix a cup of this powder with water. The one quart bottle of One Step Prep probably makes 30+ gallons. Photo: Before picture of Decking

Scrubbing: Spray on One Step Prep boards after wetting with water, wait 15 minutes being sure the decking stays wet, scrub and rinse.

After Photo The gray washes away leaving a clean deck ready for finish. Notice that although the gray has been washed away, the pigment of the decking is washed and bleached out of the boards. This is a natural occurrence since pigment washes out of wood over time.

Note: It is the responsibility of you the owner or installer to adequately test pressure washing, cleaning or finishing for product suitability and application method for your particular installation. The above are techniques that have worked for others in the past and we want to share information that we hear for the benefit of others. However, you need to test and insure that any of these ideas will work in your specific application.
