 Back to: Deck Cleaners - Professional Grade

Designed specifically for Exterior Wood and Composite Decking.

Restore-A-Deck cleaner is also available as a stand-alone product. While we recommend using the cleaner as part of the two-part R-A-D restoration system, decks that are not going to be sealed need not be pH balanced. In this instance, you can order just the cleaner portion of the kit.

RAD cleaner is similar to Oxi-Clean but with some added professional strength to make the job easier for you.

This cleaner is also excellent for use as a concrete cleaner, patio furniture restorer or house wash. It will remove mold and mildew from concrete, brick or siding.

There is enough cleaner in a single 2 lb package to clean the average 25'x12' deck with rails and 3 steps. One jar is also enough for the average housewash or 750 square foot of walk or driveway.

    I cleaned and brightened my 1 year old pressure treated pine deck then stained with RAD semi-transparent in dark walnut. I don’t like the color. Do I need to strip if I want to apply a different color? If so, which stripper do I use?

    When staining wet to wet, does stepping on first coat leave footprints?

      It depends on the stain brand and type of stain but typically it does not.

        Last September I stained the deck with one coat of Restore A Deck semi transparent cedar color on 12 month, aged Cedar after cleaning and brightening. I plan to clean and brighten the deck and then apply two coats of wet to wet Restore A Deck semi transparent cedar stain again. Attached is a picture before starting today, does that plan makes sense.

    I am going to buy the cleaner and brightener to do my deck and was thinking about buying extra cleaner to clean my house. My house is stucco, will the cleaner be safe to use on the stucco?

      Yes, it should be fine.

        Thanks for your reply and great informative site. I do have an afterthought about using the cleaner on my stucco house, would I need to use the brightener also to neutralize or just rinse well with plain water?

    My IPE deck has two yr IPE oil on it. Should I use the RAD stripper or the RAD cleaner as the first step? I will then brighten. How long does the brightener have to dry before I apply the IPE oil?

    Also what is the right ppsi on pwr washer to use on IPE Wood? curious. I will use scrub brush on step one though and not pwr wash.

      RAD Cleaner and then the Brightener for prep. Wait 48 hours to stain. Pressure wash off cleaner at 1600 psi.

    Last year I stained a cedar deck with TWP100 with one coat knowing I'd have to re-stain this year in Michigan. After the winter, there is some sun fading and wear of stain. I was told I would just have to clean and stain since I am reusing the TWP100. I cleaned the steps using Restore a Deck cleaner, letting it sit for 15 minutes and then using a scrub brush and followed with RAD brightener to neutralize. It stripped all stain (I thought it would just clean and remove any graying on the wear spots). I was just hoping to prepare the deck so it would soak up stain and remove any graying (some areas still bead) and then stain. What did I do wrong?

      You prepped it correctly. Go ahead and stain with two coats wet on wet.

        Thank you, curious why did the cleaner strip the stain? I thought only stripper would do that.

        Is there anything that can be done to prep wood just to get it to accept stain if doing every year? Also any tricks to avoiding the wear spots from steps to house?

          The cleaner will remove the stain if the stain was starting to deteriorate. It is also the proper way to prep when reapplying. Make sure it fully soaks in when applying and it should not wear.

            Thanks again, your answers are helpful. Perhaps I should not powerwash or vigorously scrub the cleaner and it wouldn't strip? Maybe just apply cleaner and quick brush to loosen dirt?

              It is fine if it comes up with a cleaner and pressure wash. This way it preps the wood optimally and is not an issue.

    Will I need more or extra cleaner to remove the grayed fibers of a hardwood like mahogany or alder?

    Is it safe to use on a deck over water?

    Prewet any siding and rinse when done would be best. It does not react with the vinyl but you do not want dirt and grime sticking to it if it splashes on it.

    I will be staining a new cedar deck (1 month old). Wood is not gray but some subtle dirt stains from construction does exist. I plan on staining with Armstrong Clark cedar tone transparent stain. I need a recommendation on a cleaner brand to prep the deck for staining. Do I even need a cleaner at all with new cedar wood? Does the cleaner brand need to be compatible with the stain brand?

    The Restore-A-Deck should remove the black mold.
