Bring grey timber back to life, or get new timber ready for its first coat
Viccon Wood Deep Cleaner is a good starting point for new timber or a grey deck that has never been oiled or coated. It helps remove tannins, dirt and weathered fibres so you can prepare the timber properly before finishing.
On new timber, cleaning away tannins and surface build-up helps the first coat of oil soak in more evenly. Follow with Wood Rejuvenator, rinse well and let the timber dry before applying your finish.
Before you choose: has anything been applied to the timber before? Deck finishes are often called “oil”, even when they are water-based coatings. For previously oiled or coated timber, choose Wood Finish Stripper. If you’re unsure, send SEALIX a few photos and we’ll help you work it out.
To achieve the best results, always follow the correct application method. Viccon Wood Deep Cleaner is formulated for efficiency, but proper use ensures thorough cleaning, tannin removal, and surface preparation for coating.
Preparation
- Sweep or rinse off any surface debris, dirt, or loose materials.
- Mask and protect any adjacent painted, powder-coated, or aluminium surfaces.
- Ensure the timber surface is slightly wet before starting — never apply to dry surface.
- Wear appropriate safety gear: gloves, eye protection, and a respirator.
Application Steps
- Shake the container well to mix contents before use.
- Apply the product undiluted using a brush, roller, or pump-action garden sprayer.
- Evenly cover the entire surface, working in manageable sections.
- Allow the cleaner to react for 20–45 minutes depending on timber condition (20 minutes for new timber, up to 45 minutes for heavily weathered timber).
- Keep the surface consistently moist during this time — re-apply more cleaner or light water mist to prevent drying.
- For heavily soiled or tannin-rich surfaces, agitate lightly with a deck brush to enhance penetration.
- Rinse thoroughly with a pressure washer (use controlled pressure to avoid damaging the timber) to remove all residue.
Post-Cleaning
- For enhanced results, follow up with Viccon Wood Rejuvenator to brighten and neutralise the surface before finishing.
- After cleaning, allow the timber to dry completely before applying any sealer or coating.
- Always test on a small area first
- Don’t let the cleaner dry on the surface
- Avoid hot sunny days – work early or in shade
- Rinse well to avoid whitening or streaks
- Restoring grey timber that has never been oiled or coated
- Fence and pergola prep
- Preparing new timber before its first coat
