Some strippers are too strong or too expensive for the job at hand. Many deck cleaners are only designed to remove dirt or brighten a lightly weathered deck. PowerLift is a strong, affordable remover that handles the toughest of jobs with ease. In order to apply PowerLift, first take normal precautions such as covering areas you don't want to clean. Wet plants and shrubs. Wear eye and skin protection. Use PowerLift as is; do not thin. Apply a uniform coat of PowerLift to the surface to be cleaned, and be sure to keep the area wet with PoweLift for 10 to 15 minutes. (Some films may require a longer dwell time). When the finish beings to lift from the wood, scrub as needed with a stiff bristle brush ( do not use a wire brush). If stubborn areas remain, repeat the application in those areas. Once the old finish is removed, rinse with large amounts of fresh water.
PowerLift may darken cedar and redwood. To brighten wood after using PowerLift, dilute Dekswood 1:4 with water and spray or roll on to surface; wait 10 minutes, then rinse off. Allow the wood to dry thoroughtly (2-3 warm, dry days minimum) before refinishing. Enhance the beauty of your freshly cleaned deck with CWF or CWF-UV Clear Wood Finishes from Flood. Four litres of PowerLift will clean from 15 to 25 square metres. Clean up tools with soap and water.
