What makes TimberBright so different? Well, a few things:
Clean Smarter, Not Harsher
Proprietary bio-enzyme action: Enzymes, encapsulate, slightly dissolve, then lift off surface contaminants like pollen, dirt, mold, and algae without etching the surface underneath.
- Plant safe: When properly mixed, it's gentle on plants, grass, and flowers.
- No rinse on the interior: When used at the proper strength, there's no need to rinse on the interior.
- Multi-surface convenience: great for wood, stone, brick, vinyl, and more one cleaner to rule them all!
-
No harsh acids or bleach: won't etch surfaces, nor continued to degrade wood fibers over time.
-
Any species: cleans any species of wood, finished or unfinished. Won't discolor high tannin species like Cedar or Redwood.
- Removes mold, mildew, algae, pollen, dirt, dust, bird poo, and more.
- Has no harsh acids.
- Has no bleach.
- Won't continue degrading wood fibers over time.
- Won't discolor high-tanning woods like cedar or Redwood.
- Leaves no off-gassing.
- Leaves no film when properly rinsed.
- It also works great on other building materials like metal, stone, and concrete without damaging the surface.
Mixing Instructions
Use a clean garden sprayer or 5 gallon pail to mix your cleaner. Mix with a paint stick or a
paddle mixer to ensure the solution is thoroughly blended. Dial in the strength necessary for your cleaning: Exteriors: Mix cleaner with water in a 1 part cleaner to 2 parts water solution, or dial down to as low as a 1:10 solution, depending on the level of cleaning needed.
Weather check: Apply product in dry conditions
with surface temps between 40° – 90°F. Avoid
excessive heat and direct sunlight.
Check moisture content of the wood with a
moisture meter and note the level before cleaning.
After cleaning, allow adequate dry time to return
to this level before applying other finishing
products.
Perform a test spot: While discoloration from
TimberBright is very rare, occasional reactions can
occur on surfaces previously treated with other
products.
Apply TimberBright in the strongest 1:2 cleaner to
water solution in an inconspicuous area to ensure
no discoloration will take place.
NOTE: TimberBright is a cleaner. It does not
bleach wood that has turned yellow and/or gray
from UV damage. To remove UV-damaged wood
fibers, start with Sashco’s CPR® Oxygenated
Bleach Wood Cleaner and Brightener. You will
likely have to follow with abrasives (sanding or
media blasting). Do not use CPR on high-tannin
woods like Redwood or Cedar. See the CPR
instructions for more details.
Mixing Instructions
Use a clean garden sprayer or 5 gallon pail to
mix your cleaner. Mix with a paint stick or a
paddle mixer to ensure the solution is thoroughly
blended. Dial in the strength necessary for your
cleaning:
Exteriors: Mix cleaner with water in a 1 part
cleaner to 2 parts water solution, or dial down to
as low as a 1:10 solution, depending on the level of
cleaning needed.
Interiors: Unless thorough rinsing can take place,
only use at a 1:10 solution on interiors. At this
concentration, rinsing is not necessary. Simply
wipe and be done! Used rags can be washed in
the normal laundry.
Application Instructions
1. Remove any loose debris from surfaces.
2. Wet down surfaces and any nearby plants with
clean water. If there’s any concern about sensitive
plant life, cover those plants with tarps. In general,
TimberBright is plant-safe when thoroughly
rinsed, but sensitive plants should be protected
ahead of time.
3. Apply the cleaner from bottom to top in an
even coat using a brush or spray nozzle. Allow
the cleaner to dwell for at least 5 minutes but not
longer than 20 minutes.
4. For stubborn areas, scrub in the longitudinal
direction of the wood grain using an RV softwash
brush or similar until the surface is clean.
5. Rinse thoroughly from top to bottom with
clean water. Warm water is best and will be more
effective but is not required. Rinse plants, as well,
in the case of overspray.
6. Allow wood to thoroughly dry a minimum of
24–48 hours before applying any coatings, stains,
or other products. Check with a moisture meter to
make sure you’re back to where you started.
Coverage Rate: 300 – 400 sq. ft. per gal. of mixed solution, depending on porosity and roughness of the wood surface.
Packaging: 1 gal. and 5 gal concentrate
Recommended Dwell Time: 5 minutes minimum, 20 minutes maximum
Dry Time: 24-48 hours in ideal temps and humidity. Wood may take longer to dry in cooler and /or more humid conditions.
Cleanup: Flush equipment and tools with clean
water. Dispose of containers in normal household
trash.
