How to Clean a Treated Pine Deck

Watch our series of How-to videos on cleaning a treated pine deck.

To restore dark or grey timber to its original state and also removed the green colour from treated pine, you'll need to apply Sikkens Cetol BL Deck and Wood Cleaner.

Step 1 - before application, wet the timber to delay drying out during the cleaning process. The surface must remain wet for 15 minutes.

Step 2 - apply the deck cleaner using a bucket and mop evenly across the whole deck.

Step 3 - work this into the timber using a stiff bristle brush and allow to rest for 15 to 30 minutes, but don't let it dry out. The deck should lighten in colour.

Step 4 -  wash the residue from the deck with a pressure washer or a stiff bristle brush and garden hose on high pressure and allow to completely dry after following these steps.

Your deck is now clean and ready for your desired Sikkens Cetol coating.
