Timber Cleaner

Evolving Elements Timber Cleaner is a high-strength timber treatment that contains oxalic acid and citric acid, both naturally occurring, bio­degradable acids. Use Evolving Elements Timber-Cleaner to remove surface contaminants prior to coating, the cleaner will help to restore and prepare weathered, grey, rust or tannin-stained, mould or mildew-affected timber to a clean appearance ready for coating

Remove surface dirt by sweeping or washing it down with water. Shake Evolving Elements Timber Cleaner thoroughly. Mix 1 part Evolving Elements Timber Cleaner to 4 parts water in a plastic container. For severely stained surfaces a stronger solution or repeat applications may be necessary. Tannin-rich timbers may also require repeat applications; wash until the water used to rinse off is clear.

Wet the timber surfaces to be cleaned with water. Apply Evolving Elements Timber Cleaner mixture generously with a stiff bristle brush. Scrub the timber vigorously. Spot cleaning should be avoided to prevent patchy results. Leave the mixture on the timber for 10-15 minutes. If necessary, apply more mixture to keep timber damp throughout this period.

Do not allow the mixture to dry. Rinse off the surface thoroughly using maximum pressure from a garden hose or using a high-pressure water cleaner (recommended for large areas or badly discoloured timber). Failure to thoroughly rinse off the mixture may result in timber discolouration under clear finishes.
