The importance of terrace maintenance

A long-lasting terrace is a well-maintained terrace. The first step is to protect it with the right products.

Starbrite offers the best solution with its Exterior Wood Protector, which will ensure that all your elements stand the test of time.

A gray terrace needs effective cleaning to restore its appearance and properties. When a deck begins to look gray, sometimes even black, stained by grease, wine, weather, etc., there's a simple and extremely effective solution to loosen the wood and, above all, restore its original colour, feel and appearance.


Use Starbrite Outdoor Wood Cleaner, tested and approved by our team in the laboratory and in the field. The product is effective on all types of exotic and resinous wood. It also removes oil residues that may have been applied previously.

 

How do I use the 6-step cleanser? 

 

1. Protect metal or painted parts in the vicinity of the terrace and the lower part of picture windows.


2. Work preferably out of direct sunlight. Work in sections. Lightly dampen the surface to be treated.


3. Spray or spread pure Cleaner Degreaser on the wood, leave to act for 2-3 minutes without allowing to dry.


4. Scrub with a broom or single-brush machine fitted with a medium or hard brush.


5. Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water to remove all product from the treated surface.


6. Repeat the operation if necessary, or on parts still stained.  

 

After thorough cleaning, wait until the wood is PERFECTLY DRY, then apply Starbrite Wood Protector/Saturator. Recommended tools :
