- In this video, The "Wizard of Wood" Everett Abrams is on the training deck at the Deck Restoration Plus Facilities discussing the difference of cleaning wood and restoring wood. It is important to be able to differentiate taking the time to do the correct restoration process as opposed to just cleaning the wood.

I love when I hear someone that knows what they are talking about. You are a rare breed these days. Great job. !
I’m 66 years old. I paid someone to apply oil based semitransparent stain. It is horrible. Please share with me how I can get it off. I have to do it myself.
Watching you videos, you are definitely the “wizard” to ask.
Thank you,
Wanda
The only way to remove it now is to use a stripper. Being an oil it should remove easier than a water based product. Visit our store at www.deckandwoodstain.com for restoration products. Call our toll free number if you need more help and support.
@@wizardofwood Thank you for responding!!! I’ve checked out your store and I like your Burlington Gold stain.
I have two strippers to try. I’m not strong enough to start the pressure washer so I bought a hose nozzle that with different settings to try.
Thanks again for responding.
Congrats on breaking 2k👍
Thank you
I’ve refinished decking. And my steps were doing a solid power wash. Sanding and then putting a sealer Is it bad to do a close-up power wash. I know that for certain words. You can’t. But for harder wood it worked fine for me. and any spots that were a little bit damaged I feel like I cleaned it right up with the Sanding
How did you get rid of mold, mildew, algae, and any organic growth? Pressure washing only will not remediate the growth. If you seal it you may have issues. Can you do it this way? Yes. Is it the right? No.
@@wizardofwood idk I feel like once I sanded.. everything looked brand new ... and was ready for a sealer .. worked for me
@@wizardofwood also really wanted to ask ... if I re apply a oil based sealer every 2 months.. couldn't it just last year around and have my decking and furniture always looking good ?
@@thedarwinsnatchers6745 first, if you try to apply an oil every two months you will find it probably will not adhere. Sealers when dry will repel themselves as well. Meaning it will just sit on the surface and peel, which it should not do, because it could not grab the wood. It will also stay sticky because it could not dry correctly. When this happens there are starches in the oils that are actually a food source for mold and mildew and will now attract this type of growth. A third issue is that many coats do not help, they actually cut down on the permeability of the sealer and not allow the wood to breathe and moisture to flow through the sealer. If you cut down the permeability the wood will hold wood because of the reduced permeability and prematurely rot.
Very good video
Love it, great information as always
Will sodium percarbonate remove the stain/sealer that is already there?
Deck has one coat of TWP. I'm ready to apply second coat. (2yrs later-life happens) I need to remove mildew mold etc. Will sodium p destroy/remove the previously applied TWP?
Can you do a video on restoring and cleaning cedar shake
Great video! Had a question if you just needed to clean a deck or fence that is painted or stained what you you recommend to use if you didn't want to strip the paint or stain?
By light pressure do you mean using around 1200 PSI with a fan dip (and keeping distance) ?
The actual rule of thumb would actually be lowest possible pressure to get the job done. More pressure does not impact speed of the job necessarily. Cedar takes about 600-800psi, 6-12 inches away from the wood in many cases. Obviously each job is different and psi will vary slightly on each. Usually 1200psi or less is all that is needed. Usually when you go higher and start relying on pressure you are using the wrong chemicals or products. You literally could use the black chemical tip that comes with most pressure washers to rinse with if you are using the right products.
@@wizardofwood Thanks for the Knowledge! I really appreciate it!
I was asked to pressure wash and restore a pier over a couples large pond. Then they want it stained a dark walnut color. I'm needing products that are not harmful to fish or anything in the water. Any tips?
Our product is a water based coating.

Great video. What do you recommend for pretreat before cleaning a driveway?
Treat any stains first, like degreaser for oil, rust remover (acid), etc. then a mix of sodium hypochlorite with a surfactant and water for heavy organic growth. Then pressure wash with a surface cleaner.
Which Metasilicate should I use? Pentabead or anhydrous for my initial cleaning? Thanks!
Did you found out which one?
@@joeusa4809 Nope. I've posted this question other places and silence. I really want to know.
@@housewashing5693 Same here...
How do you remove wood fuzz…sanding? Thx
Sanding or Osborn brushes are the two most popular choices.
You did
customer wants to restain a deck... clean or restore
This is way too broad of a question. It depends on too many factors. Depends on the previous coating and its condition. If the previous coating was a film forming product it probably needs to be stripped and brightened first. Some of these coatings you can get away with one maintenance application of cleaning and staining. If it was a penetrating, maintenance product you can clean and re-coat and should rarely have to strip these. It also depends on the condition of the previous coat. If it is too worn and weathered then strip and brighten. If it has been maintained, then clean and stain. Always depends on those two main items though to make a decision. You mentioned “customer” and for us, first time out we strip and brighten everything and put down a maintenance type of product so that it is easier in the future and the customer gets a future discounted maintenance plan.
What's is your web site to order chemical?

Sodium hypochlorite then oxcalic acid is the key.
Not necessarily. There are 5 chemicals that are used to clean wood and it really depends on the conditions. Sodium hypochlorite will not get to organic growth rooted in a porous surface like wood. It is much more effective on non-porous surfaces. It is however excellent as a cleaner when “maintenance” cleaning where your are just cleaning on top of a sealed or stained surface for re-coating.
@@wizardofwood Hi Mr Abrams, which chemical do you recommend to clean before brightening on old pressure treated wood? Am in CT
@@nixsonbronson4595 mostly we use our Restorer which is a sodium metasilicate based product. We use 3 different type of cleaners with wood and it depends on the condition of the wood. New, grayed, slightly worn, a little coating left, light organic growth, and heavy organic growth just to name a few.
