BEFORE

AFTER

Application:

Sweep and wash down with water to remove any surface dirt.
Shake PREPMAX concentrate thoroughly. Mix 1 part PREPMAX to 4 parts water in a plastic container.
Use water to wet the timber area to be cleaned.
Using a stiff bristle broom/brush apply the PREPMAX mixture generously to the timber surface in sections, ideally along the full length of each piece of timber. Scrub the timber vigorously to ensure good “foaming” of the mixture. Avoid spot cleaning as it may create an uneven finish.
Leave the mixture on the timber surface for approximately 15 min. During this time, it may be necessary to apply more mixture to ensure the surface is kept wet. Avoid applying to hot surfaces and in direct sunlight.
Rinse off the timber surface thoroughly using a low-medium pressure wash down. Note: Failure to remove the solution could result in an uneven finish of the coating.
Allow the timber surface to dry before applying the coating.

For severe staining, tannin rich or badly weathered and greyed timber a stronger mixture or repeat applications may be required.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Q: Any special precaution we need to take before using?

A: Always use/wear personal protective equipment and avoid contact with vegetation, painted or metal surfaces (corrosive properties may react with metal) but if contact does occur, rinse immediately and thoroughly with water. It is a good idea to keep all surrounding areas well saturated with water during the cleaning process to dilute the rinsing off water.
