FAQs
How long is the handle when fully extended?
The handle extends up to 126cm.
Can I use this on grooved deck boards?
Yes, the 20cm applicator pad is designed to accommodate both smooth and grooved board profiles.
Are the heads replaceable?
The system uses a modular design; ensure you maintain the cleaning heads properly, and contact the manufacturer for specific replacement part availability.
Is the handle made of rust-proof material?
Yes, the handle is constructed from stainless steel to resist rust when exposed to moisture.
What is the small brush used for?
The 100mm wooden bristle brush is intended for detailed work in corners, edges, and tight gaps where the larger pads cannot fit.
Troubleshooting
The telescopic handle keeps sliding down during use
Ensure the locking mechanism is twisted firmly in the 'tighten' direction while the handle is at the desired extension.
Stain is pooling in the grooves of the deck boards
Reduce the amount of product applied to the applicator pad and ensure you are working the stain into the wood grain with consistent strokes.
Sponge pad is becoming stiff or brittle
This occurs when finish is left to dry on the applicator. Use the correct solvent for your specific stain or oil to break down the buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the tool, extend the telescopic handle to your desired height by twisting the locking mechanism until secure. Attach the required head by aligning it with the connector on the end of the handle. Regarding compatibility, the 20cm pad is designed to work with most standard wood oils and water-based stains. For care, rinse the sponge brush and applicator pad with warm water immediately after applying finishes to prevent the oil or stain from drying into the material. If using oil-based products, use an appropriate solvent to clean the brush before final rinsing. Always store the handle retracted in a dry, shaded area to prevent corrosion or UV damage to the plastic attachments.
