Restore-A-Deck Wood Brightener: The Best Stain Remover for Decks

Restore-A-Deck Wood Brightener is a biodegradable, powdered concentrate that is mixed with water to brighten and restore the natural beauty of all species of exterior wood. This product excels at brightening, removing rust stains, and tannin stains caused by fallen leaves. Restore-A-Deck Wood Brightener is a safe, eco-friendly product that will not only brighten but neutralize the surface of the wood, creating an ideal surface that is ready to be stained.

This product is the perfect complement to our wood cleaning product, Restore-A-Deck Wood Cleaner. We recommend you use this product as part of our comprehensive wood cleaning system.

The Restore A Deck system is a multistep deck cleaning system, and best results are achieved when using all 3 products. This product is step 2 of the Restore A Deck system.

Uses of Restore-A-Deck Wood Brightener

Restore-A-Deck Wood Brightener is intended for use on all types of weathered, exterior wood surfaces including decks, fences, siding, outdoor furniture, gazebos, and playsets.

Recommended for surface preparation prior to initial application of semi-transparent finishes and stains. The product can be used as a cleaner and brightener for redwood, or as a neutralizer to further brighten wood species, like pine, that have been cleaned with Restore-A-Deck Wood Cleaner or stripped with Restore-A-Deck Stain Stripper. For lasting protection of your exterior wood, after using Restore-A-Deck Wood Brightener, treat the surface with Restore-A-Deck Premium Wood Stain.

Note: Restore-A-Deck Wood Brightener is not formulated to remove intact paint, stain, or clear finishes. This brightener is not a cleaner. It will not remove grayed wood fibers.

    We just finished applying the RAD wood cleaner to a vertical fence. The wood looks good and bright. Do we still need to use the RAD wood brightener before applying the Armstrong Clark again? Or can we avoid using the brightener and apply stain after washing the cleaner thoroughly with a pressure washer?

    Can the cleaner or brightener be mixed in 1 gal. amounts?

    I've power washed the stripper and it looks like furring has occurred. What do I do?

      It should be fine to stain but if you want you can lightly buff the floor with a floor buffer and sanding pad to remove.

        So, the furring won't make it look splotchy when I add the stain. I'm currently putting on the brightener thinking that would take care of it but it didn't. What is the furring from?

          That happens when your wood is oxidized from the sun and when you clean or strip it off, it removes the layer of oxidized wood cells. Since the stain will darken the wood, it typically blends it so it is not that noticeable.

    i ended up sanding certain rough places before using the stripper. Will this be a problem?

    Thanks. One more question. When using a pressure washer to remove the cleaner or brightener, which tip do you recommend, the wash tip as opposed to a pressure tip like a 15 degree?

    I have new sod around my deck that will be about a month old when I treat the deck. Will the cleaner or brightener harm the sod?

    We recently cleaned our old cedar deck with AmorAll's deck cleaning product and a pressure washer. Do we need to use RAD cleaner/stripper, or can we sand and go directly to the RAD brightener, then stain?

      The cleaner you used is not effective enough. Use the RAD Cleaner and Brightener Kits for the correct prep.

    We’ve used the stripper on our cedar deck, and are going to sand tough areas that didn’t strip. Should we sand first then brighten, or vice versa?


    Thank you

    I have a Cedar Deck, 1 year old and has never been stained or sealed. It has whitened/ greyed up significantly in the full Texas sun. Recently I added a little bit of bleach to a lot of water and cleaned it. Then I have just power washed it. It's still too grey looking for me, and I would like to get it back to its natural cedar warm reddish look. Do you think your Brightener would help + Stain would get what I'm looking for?

      Use the RAD Cleaner and then the RAD Brightener and then the semi-transparent stain.

        Is there bleach in the cleaner that would lighten this cedar deck further? I don't want my cedar deck to look any whiter. Thanks for replying.

    I have a front and back porch made of Ipe that hasn’t been cared for properly. I’m assuming from the can I found in the barn that Penofin was the last product used on it. I have a power washer, an orbital sander (lots of 60 grit), and a strong back. Other than being weathered and dirty, both porches are in great shape. What products do you recommend to bring back the rich dark beauty of Ipe?

      Use the RAD Cleaner and then the RAD Brightener. Stain with the RAD Semi-Transparent stain in Light Walnut.

    Accidently ordered stripper+brightener instead of cleaner+brightener. After sanding down, can I use stripper instead of cleaner?

    I have stripped and brightened the deck but now rain is in the forecast. If I wait a few weeks and lightly power wash again before staining am I still ok or will I have to prep again? Also, I would like to add a second coat to a boardwalk that already has one coat. Can I apply a second coat at anytime?

    Hi guys, I used the Step 1 cleaner, and then brightner on this past Thur. However, i when it dried I saw there was a bit too much mold/algae left. I didn't have a powerwasher 1st time. So, I had more cleaner and got a power wash which helped greatly to get rid of that. The wood has a good bit fuzzy wood which lifted from powerwash. Do I need to sand those after after it's dried? Also, do i need to used brightener again before putting my stain on, as I'm out of that. Thanks

      No need to sand and no need for more brightener.

    I think my question was deleted? I posted yesterday but it is no longer showing on the thread.
    We have a three year old cedar deck that was never stained. It has greyed, plus some slight damage from power washing a year prior. Currently sanding it down, and then want to stain. Trying to determine if we need a cleaner/brightener or only the stain since it has been sanded.

      RAD Products · 05/21/2020
      Yes, clean and brighten after the sanding is correct.

    Our cedar deck is three years old and has never been stained, had greyed plus experienced some slight damage from power washing the year prior. Deck is currently being sanded.. looks practically brand new underneath. Do we need to use a cleaner or brightener or any other prep before a semi-translucent stain?

    I bought a home 2 years ago. The prior owner built a deck but never stained it. The wood has grayed somewhat, although not severely. Should I use both the cleaner and the brightener prior to using a transparent stain?

    Your Deck Stain Calculator says that I will need 7 gallons of stain. I can get 5 gallons in the stain kit with stripper and brightener. Do you sell additional stain in a single 2.5 gallon container, or do you only sell the 2.5 gallons 2 per case?

    My deck is already thoroughly stained and I would like to just redo the stain. Would you recommend just using the step 1 deck cleaner and then staining with RAD product or use the step 1 cleaner AND step 2 brightener. I plan to use solid stain as that is what is already being used on the deck and have no desire to change. Thanks in advance!
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 05/04/2020
      If redoing with a solid stain it is best to use the cleaner or stripper for the prep. No need for a brightener.

    I used all RAD products Cleaner, Brightener, then Natural semi transparent stain on my new KDAT pine deck 14 months ago. Now preparing to do maintenance. I know I need to use the Cleaner product before applying a coat of Natural stain, but do I need to apply Brightener or was that only required prior to the initial application of stain?

      If you have a base coat then you do not need the brightener.

    I’d like to restore an ice deck that currently has no finish. It is weathered grey and I’d just like to freshen it up. Should I just use the brightness alone? Or should I use the cleaner then brightness? Again, I have a glass rail, so the gentler the product the better.

      You will need both the cleaner and the brightener. It does not harm glass.

    I have a 1 year old cedar deck with no previous coatings. Yesterday, we used the cleaner with a garden sprayer, scrubbed with a hand brush on the uprights, then used a larger stiff brush on a broom handle for the floor parts, hosed with lots of water on jet, then sprayed with the brightener, waited and rinsed again with the hose. It's so dry in CO that we misted and watered a bunch in between so as not to dry wood out while we were still working. Today it's all dry and is a lot lighter in color, but almost every knothole has a grey/whitish color surrounding it and I'm concerned about this splotchy look. Did we do something wrong with the cleaner or brightener or just not scrub well enough? Do we need to do this process again before staining? Thanks!

      That is oxidation of the wood that was not fully removed. Best to repeat the process one more time. Using a pressure washer helps.

    Frank · 06/17/2019
    I'm worried about the rinse phase of the brightener. Do you want 20-30 minutes on every surface of the deck means it may take a few hours to rinse? Or 20-30 minutes overall of rinsing? How do you know if it is rinsed enough? I feel like I should just clean and stain to avoid issues....advice?

      20-30 minutes overall. Just make sure there are no suds.

    Can I spray on stripper with pump sprayer and then power wash? Also with the brightener, can I apply it with a pump sprayer then should it be rinsed off with a hose?
