BACKBOARDS™ is a mild acidic clear liquid wood restoring detergent. BACKBOARDS™ restores wood surfaces discolored by years of exposure to weathering elements. BACKBOARDS™ readily transforms old gray or blackened, moldy wood to its original appearance. BACKBOARDS™ dramatically reduces cleaning efforts and time allowing more effective restoration than pressure water blasting alone. BACKBOARDS™ and a gentle 500 to 1000PSI flush rinse eliminates gouging, splintering, furring, stop/start, overlapping marks and deep injections of water into the vulnerable wood fibers. BACKBOARDS™ is recommended for cedar, pressure treated, redwood and other types of wooden decks, shakes, roofs, fences and log cabins.

 

DIRECTIONS: Dilute with water as specified in the following ratios:

 

Wood restoration: Pressure washer cleaning: Full Strength or dilute up to 3 to 1 with water. Manual Scrubbing: Full Strength.

 

Mild Masonry Brightening: Full Strength Rust Stain Removal: Full Strength

 

RESTORATION TIPS -Ultra high pressure (greater than 2000 PSI) damages wood fibers. -DO NOT BLEACH! Sodium Hypochlorite solutions soften, raise the grain, and splinter wood fibers. Bleach also forms a film that deters follow up preservative penetration. Bleach and wood do not get along! -Use cold or warm water to pressure clean. Hot water softens wood causing fiber damage. -If a previous wood treatment is evident, a chemical stripper may first be required. Call ETS. -Follow up the wood restoration with a full bodied, replenishing wood preservative. Call ETS.
