Unlike two-part cleaners, it is mild to use, harmless to plants and shrubs whether used full strength or diluted. Scrub surface with a stiff nylon/synthetic brush whilst rinsing with water or use a pressure washer (max. I was wrong, the problem was that the dilunett dried out in the sun very quickly on the day I tried it. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

The solution will work on all wood species, including Softwoods such as Western Red Cedar, Siberian Larch and Southern Yellow Pine, hardwoods such as Iroko, Ipe and Yellow Balau and thermally-modified woods, for example, ThermoWood. Net-trol can be used neat or can be diluted with water, depending on the work to be done and the condition of the surface. I can confirm that Net-Trol is safe for people with pets to use as it is washed away with copious amounts of water during the process. Leave it to stand for 10-20 minutes (If the surface starts to dry, dampen it with a mist application of water). Owatrol Net-trol is perfect for application on all exterior wood including tropical hardwoods, it can remove traces of weathering and staining from timber surfaces such as tannin bleed, mildew, pollution and damaged caused by the sun’s harmful UV Rays.Net-trol is easy to use, safely restoring the beautiful warm colour of faded Teak decks, it can also be used to clean plastic (fenders) GRP topsides where it can remove the waterline stains. Read other reviews on here and found most people use this to remove rust stains from stone rather than cleaning wood. When using a power washer or garden sprayer (Most seals are resistant to oxalic acid, especially in the dilute state) to apply Net-trol, it is important that the Net-trol is not over diluted in the mixing process. Owatrol Net-trol can be used to remove stains caused by tannin bleed, remove any traces of weathering and neutralise a wooden surface that has been stripped. It is the dirt build up on the surface of the deck that when wet becomes slippery on both grooved and smooth boards.

Can you please give us more information about what you were trying to remove and what method you used to do it so that we can understand the problem a little better? I have laid silver granite paving slabs and I used a mild acid solution to remove mortar and cement from the laying process.He was going to use an acid based patio cleaner to try to clean it but fortunately I’d read enough online to know that this would probably make matters worse and that net-trol was rated very highly for this problem. Furniture that has never been cared for can be cleaned with Net Trol to remove all impurities, stains, mould and previous treatments. Please note that while this calculator shows the decking required, Southgate Timber advises that 10% be added to the total to cover wastage. It is safe for use on all wood species and can also be used as a neutralizer after using a stripping product such as Prepdeck.

Painted on and, after 5 minutes, pressure washed off to reveal the original wood – it was like magic! Gary is the Managing Director of Owatrol UK Ltd and is in charge of the day to day marketing and sales for the company. Our recommendation would be to purchase a sample of Net-Trol and try it on a small area of the sandstone. I had the trim on my building that had been exposed to the weather for a year and the pine turned black from the exposure. The product can be applied to all species of softwoods such as larch, pine, cedar and pressure treated timber and also hardwoods such as teak, ipe, iroko, bangkirai (balau), oak, chestnut etc.

Had Iroko gates fitted 3 years ago and told to use Tung oil on them to maintain them – This left them black and looking awful. It is entirely possible that Net-Trol will help with your problem but unfortunately we can’t make any guarantees. Owatrol Net-trol is particularly suited for horizontal or vertical surfaces such as cladding, screens, fencing, decking, office buildings or garden furniture.Hi, I have an Indian sandstone patio where I keep the dogs and they are fenced in by a galvanized fence. Net-Trol is great for all exterior wood types and can also be used as an excellent degreaser for tropical hardwoods, allowing other finishes like Deks Olji D1 to penetrate the wood. I used a decking brush to scrub the product into the stains, left it for 15 mins and washed off with water and the same decking brush. Sadly, many slabs have dried to reveal a rusted finish which I have established has been caused by the acid used (hydrochloric 5%).
