How to clean and brighten your weathered deck surface.

Woodrich Wood Decking Stripper

I have a pressure treated deck that was several years old and it was starting to look drab due to the years of weathering it had. I did not want to replace the deck but thought I would like to attempt to strip it and re coat it to help make it look as new as possible. I was searching around the Internet and came across a product from Woodrich called EFC-38 which apparently works on all types of wood species such as pressure treated, cedar and even exotic hardwoods like Ipe, Cumaru and Tigerwood. This product is granular and you mix it in a 5 gallon pale of water and then you can apply with a power washer on low pressure and then spray it on and leave it for a few minutes and then spray it off. I was unsure how this product would work for my weathered deck that had never been cleaned so I also purchased the HD-80 which is a heavy duty stripper. I was advised to purchase along with this product the brightener which is to be applied after your stripper is used. This product is called Citralic ,Citralic is pH balanced to make the ideal neutralizer for HD-80 and other caustic strippers. I was very happy with the results I achieved with these products and would suggest you visit www.myocstore.com for further information.

Imagine being able to quickly and easily stain and preserve all exterior and interior timber.

Ipe Hardwood Wiping Preservative keeps your deck looking new as possible.

rabbott — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 13:58:00 +0000

Woodrich has developed a wood preservative formula for Ipe and other tropical hardwood decking species that lasts longer and without peeling. Woodrich developed a formula that is pigmented to the nature colors found in Ipe so once applied it brings out the natural beauty of the wood and also helps even out the various colors inherit to Ipe.

The application is a three step process with a cleaner, brightener and finish coat. Most homeowners don’t realize that when they purchase there tropical hardwood decking that its dirty from warehousing, transportation and installation. This three step process brings back the natural beauty of Ipe. The species has lots of positive benefits over other domestic species such as its natural hardness and durability so its important that you protect your investment with a quality finishing product such as Woodrich.

Otter Creek is the Canadian Distributor for Woodrich and tested the product for two years prior to agreeing to becoming the distributor for Canada. “We are very proud of the results to date of this product and how it has performed in the northern climate here in Canada”, Robert Abbott, President of the company.
