Deck maintenance is the key to prolonging a deck’s structural integrity and overall appearance. It is well known that a wooden deck has to be cleaned and sealed every couple of years to deflect the major causes of water and UV damage that would otherwise occur. Board warping, cracking, splitting, UV fading, discoloring, and mold infiltration are just some of the major damaging effects that unprotected wood is subjected to.
Before now you could only purchase a wood cleaner to clean common dirt, grime, and mold from a deck surface. You would then have to purchase separately a wood brightener to level the pH of the wood and open the wood pores to prepare them for a coat of deck stain. Because of this hassle, many people would simply skip the all-important brightening step, which unknowingly, would cause the deck stain to fail prematurely. A lack of proper deck prepping is the number one reason a deck stain or sealer fails prematurely. The wood professionals, to get the most performance from a deck stain use this 2-step restoration method.
Doing an online search for Restore-A-Deck products near me will bring up one of the most innovative products for deck maintenance. RAD as it is called, contains both Step 1 Wood Cleaner and Step 2 Wood Brightener packaged in a convenient and easy to use kit. The simple instructions of mixing the concentrated powder is safe yet extremely effective in removing dirt, grime, mold, and graying from any deck or exterior wood surface followed by the wood brightener prior to staining or sealing.
Searching Restore-A-Deck products near me will give you the best buying options online, as RAD is not readily available in most local hardware stores. Wood professionals developed this unique one of a kind, 2-step wood restoration kit. Its effectiveness for prepping wood prior to staining is outstanding and can give deck owners the professional like results they have always wanted without the cost. Through searching Restore-A-Deck products near me, it is revealed that the total average cost of prepping a deck using the RAD kit is around .07 cents per square foot. That is incredibly affordable considering the amazing results this product is capable of.

Well crap. Crew is coming tomorrow; they had a cancellation and we jumped on the opportunity.
Leslie again.
deck was sanded with commercial sander last year. Just cleaned with deck cleaner and soon to be brightened. Cedar, full sun in Atlanta. Do I count it as a new deck and do one coat or 2. It is an older deck but sealed and cleaned every year. Am not sure how many coats of the RAD semi transparent to use.
i would like it to look like it does when wet. Two wet on wet coats or one. I don’t want it too dark, too yellow or too red. Ha. Will the natural protect from greying and be a good color on cedar? Thanks for all your help.
Try one coat in Natural color. It will protect from graying.

I have a 15 year old deck (never stained) that I’ve washed and brightened. How much do I need for a 20×15 foot deck with four steps ( each is 16ftx8 inches) and 22 ft of railing?
I plan to sand before staining. Should I use one or two coats?
Also, I noticed a comment that said you should stain within a couple weeks of brightening. However, it will be 3-4 weeks before I get around to it (weather permitting). Do I need to re-brighten before staining?
Thanks.
Yes, brighten again. No need to sand. Apply two coats wet on wet. About 4-5 gallons of the stain.
I’ve read a number of places that you should sand after power washing to smooth out fibers. The railing did have some splinters sticking up after power washing. I simply mentioned washed earlier; would it be wise to sand since I power washed it?
Thanks,
Yes, you can hand sand splinters off.
