Product Details

Thompson's WaterSeal Heavy Duty Deck Cleaner is specially formulated to remove weathered clear and tinted waterproofers and semi-transparent stains from decks and other exterior wood surfaces.

  • Removes old wood fibres for a renewed look

  • Does not bleach

  • Easy to use wood deck cleaner and brightener

  • 3.78 L container

Easy to use

2 months ago
Pressure treated deck is noticeably cleaner and brighter after using the product. It doesn't remove all the grime and signs of aging but it sure did make a difference.

Works for the every year clean

Although this is a good product, its not great for the stubborn areas that need something more aggressive. I'll continue to use but best to hold off if you've skipped cleaning gor a couple years.

  • A: Hello, thanks for your question, regarding our Deck Cleaner & Renewer product. Don't overthink this. It is best to apply on a calm day, but a slight wind should be fine. Best, Dane @ Thompson’s WaterSeal Customer Support

Q: Is scrubbing required? Also what do you recommend to seal the deck

3 years ago
2 Answers
  • A: Thanks for taking the time to ask a question. You would want to scrub the surface with a synthetic, stiff bristle brush (do not use a wire or natural bristle brush. NOTE: To determine if the surface is sealed or can be sealed, perform a "Water Test". The water test is accomplished by dripping some water on the surface of the substrate. If the water penetrates into the surface and makes it noticeably darker, then it is ready for another coat of Thompsons. If the water beads up on the surface, then hold off on the application (currently the substrate is sealed and does not require an additional layer of sealer). Which product you put down next will be based on whether you want color, clear, Semi-Transparent/Solid etc. We are happy help you choose. Please contact us directly at 1-800-367-6297 or info@cbgbrandreview.com. Sincerely, R.C., Digital Care Team

Q: Can you use this product to just clean pressure treated wood and leave it? (no stain following the clean)

5 years ago
2 Answers
  • A: Hey, thanks for the question. The person who provided the community answer is partially correct. Just applying our Deck Cleaner product by itself will not offer UV protection and will not protect the wood for very long. It would "age" the wood quickly. Hope this helps. All my best, Dane @ Thompson’s WaterSeal Customer Support

Q: Hi, I sanded my deck last weekend. Do you still recommend to use the cleaner or can I directly use the waterproofer/protector?

8 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: I would suggest using a cleaner Product #048-3052 Thompson's Deck Cleaner & Renewer to open the pores of the wood to accept the waterproofer or stain. Sanding alone can close the pores and make the topcoat not penetrate properly.
