CLEAN off Stains from Mold and Mildew

C

LEAN is a maintenance cleaner that safely removes stains from mold and/or as well as water stains. Plus, it is multipurpose and effective on siding, shakes, outdoor furniture and more.

BRIGHTEN by Removing Tannin & Rust Stains

BRIGHTEN is used to break the shiny, tough-to-penetrate “mill glaze” on new wood and ensure deck stain adhesion. It also removes tannin and rust stains. Are you staining a tanninbearing wood? BRIGHTEN counteracts the darkening effect of RESTORE and REMOVE by neutralizing the pH of those formulas.

RESTORE Severely Weathered Wood

RESTORE is a gentle, bleach-free formula that quickly restores severely weathered and greyed wood decks to their natural colour. And, it prepares the deck’s surface for re-coating by removing tannin bleeding, discoloured surface fibre, and stains from mold and/or mildew.

REMOVE Latex and Oil Finishes

REMOVE is a fast-acting formula for peeling oil or latex stain, varnish, and clear wood finishes. It also removes damaged and discoloured wood fibres to prepare the surface for recoating.

Deck design Create areas of interest by using both semi-transparent and solid stains on your deck and rails. “I like to apply a natural, lighter stain on the deck, with a darker solid stain to enhance vertical architectural features like the railing,” says Grech. If your wood is new or in great shape, treat it with a simple translucent or semi-transparent stain like Benjamin Moore® ARBORCOAT® to heighten natural wood colour. Semi-solid stains are great for covering imperfections, allowing some of the grain and texture of the wood to show through, while solid stains are more like paint and leave an opaque colour and texture.

“You can test the different translucencies and colours with pint sample cans. It’s always best to trybefore-you-buy, recommends Grech.
