Owatrol Net-trol Wood Cleaner and Brightener is a powerful solution which restores weathered, greying unfinished exterior wood to its natural colour. Owatrol Net-trol is mild to use, and unlike chlorine or bleach based cleaners will not damage the wood fibres. While restoring the wood's natural vibrancy, Owatrol Net-trol also removes any ground-in or surface dirt, resulting in a beautiful, clean looking exterior wood surface.

Owatrol Net-trol is particularly suited for horizontal or vertical surfaces such as cladding, screens, fencing, decking, office buildings or garden furniture. 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.

Unlike two part cleaners, it is mild to use, harmless to plants and shrubs whether used full strength or diluted.

Net-Trol Wood Cleaner is a safe, one-part cleaner that cleans and restores wood, brick and stone. Removes stains, weathering and algae to restore natural colour and beauty. A highly concentrated formula, which contains no bleach, can be diluted up to four times.

Recommended application practice

• Shake container throughly prior to application
• Cover any areas you do not wish to coat
• Apply between 5oC and 35oC.
