HANDLING AND STORAGE
Clean Up:
Always clean application equipment after use with water.
Rinse plants and vegetation with water after exposure. Care must 
be taken to cover any kind of exposed aluminum materials to avoid 
discoloring as this product is actually corrosive to metal. Do not 
combine or use with any product containing chlorine bleach (also 
known as Sodium Hypochlorite).
Storage:
Store unused concentrate in the closed, original labeled container. 
Never store mixed brightening solution in an airtight container. This 
will avoid possible excess pressure accumulation.

contact with eyes by wearing protective goggles. During mixing 
and application to wood, wear rubber gloves. Rinse completely after 
product handling. Never breathe any spray mist and may be harmful

Brush Method:
Brush (recommended method): Scrub surface with stiff, short-bristle 
brush, using moderate pressure. Do not use a wire brush.
Pressure Wash:
For hardwoods, use 500-1,000 PSI to be certain no damage is done 
to the wood. Use a 40° sprayer tip and 1,500-2,500 PSI for pressure 
treated woods. Always move lengthwise with wood to prevent cut 
marks in the grain - preferably 18+ inches away. Both methods help 
to ensure aged surface is totally eliminated.
Rinse:
If pressure washing is not employed after brushing, rinse thoroughly 
with a garden hose, using the highest pressure nozzle setting 
available. On a vertical surface, continually rinse cleaned areas to 
avoid streaking. Rinse any wood fibers off surrounding surfaces 
immediately. When dry, wood surface should appear brighter than 
normal. The wood is now ready to accept a stain or oil finish. 
Dry Time: 
Allow the wood to dry thoroughly before applying a water-based 
finish and a minimum of 24 hours before applying any oil-based 
finish.
CAUTION: Wet wood and coated wood surfaces can easily become 
slick when wet. Always use caution when walking on wet areas.
