FAQs
How much area does a 5-litre container cover?
A 5-litre container is typically sufficient to clean a deck area of approximately 20-24 square metres.
Can I use Ronseal Decking Cleaner on composite decking?
This product is specifically formulated for timber decking. It is not recommended for use on composite materials. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines for composite decking care.
Do I need to rinse the deck after using the cleaner?
Yes, thorough rinsing with clean water is essential to remove all cleaner residue. This ensures proper adhesion of any subsequent finishes.
How long should I leave the cleaner on the deck?
Refer to the product packaging for the exact recommended dwell time, but typically it is around 15-30 minutes. Do not allow the cleaner to dry on the surface.
What should I do if the cleaner gets on my plants?
Protect surrounding plants by covering them before application. If accidental contact occurs, rinse the plants immediately and thoroughly with plenty of water.
When is the best time of year to clean my deck?
Spring or early autumn are ideal times. Avoid cleaning during very hot, sunny days or when frost is expected, as this can affect product performance and drying times.
Can I apply this cleaner in the rain?
No, the deck must be dry before application, and you should not apply the cleaner if rain is expected before rinsing. Ensure adequate drying time after rinsing.
Troubleshooting
Deck still looks dirty after cleaning
The area may require more intense scrubbing or a longer dwell time for the cleaner. For heavily soiled areas, a second application might be necessary. Ensure thorough rinsing.
Residue left on the deck after rinsing
Rinse the deck more thoroughly with plenty of clean water. Use a hose or pressure washer on a low setting. Ensure no standing water remains with cleaner in it.
Cleaner not effective on stubborn stains
For very old or deep stains, pre-treatment with a dedicated stain remover might be required before using the decking cleaner. Manual scrubbing is also key.
