How to
remove wood stain
Defy Exterior Wood Stain Stripper will remove weathered solid color stains and
varnishes as well as semi-transparent stains that cannot be removed by simply
cleaning. If unsure whether the wood needs to be stripped or just cleaned, test
a small, inconspicuous area to determine which method will provide the best
results before proceeding. Defy wood stripper will cover 100-150 sq. ft. per
gallon and is sold in 1 gallon containers. Applying a generous amount of
this deck stain remover with a polyester brush, roller or pump-up hand sprayer
and then allowing it to sit for 15 minutes will cause the finish to begin to
lift and remove stain wood finish from the wood’s surface. After the finish
begins to lift, scrub with a stiff bristle brush in the direction of the wood
grain. After scrubbing, rinse with large amounts of water in the direction of
the wood grain. Using a pressure washer, although not mandatory, will eliminate
the need for scrubbing. However, particular care should be taken with a power
washer to avoid damaging the wood. After rinsing, you must neutralize and
brighten the wood with
Defy Wood Brightener immediately. If stubborn areas remain,
repeat the application in those areas.
