Description
Owatrol Compo Clean is a fast-acting water-based composite wood cleaner and degreaser suitable for use on all types of exterior composite wood. No need to fear for your plastic pool liners, stone, cement or other materials which may be near to your composite wood – Owatrol Compo Clean is environmentally friendly and will not attack these surfaces.
It could not be more straightforward to use – ready straight from the bottle to be applied by either brush or roller. Suitable for both horizontal and vertical surfaces – when you’re finished just rinse with water. Perfect for cleaning composite decking and reviving worn composite surfaces around pools and tubs.
Preparation
- Cover everything you do not wish to paint, including any plants or shrubs nearby, and ESPECIALLY ALUMINIUM.
- Wear suitable protective clothing.
- Apply between 5°C and 35°C. Do not apply in direct sunlight or on hot wood.
- We always recommend mixing a small amount of Owatrol E-B and paint to test for compatibility.
- Refer to the paint manufacturer’s instructions regarding preparation.
- Make sure all surfaces to be painted are sound, clean, dry and free from any possible contaminants such as dirt and grease.
Remove all loose and flaking material.
Application
- Shake or stir thoroughly prior to application. Do not dilute.
- Always work the entire length of a board to a logical break.
- On vertical surfaces, clean from bottom to top and rinse from top to bottom to avoid streaking.
- First, apply a thick layer of Compo-Clean to the area to be cleaned. Large areas should be cleaned in smaller sections.
- Leave the product to work for 5 minutes (longer if necessary depending on the nature of the dirt and contamination) and then scrub with a stiff nylon or synthetic brush.
- Rinse with plenty of fresh clean water using the highest pressure source available or use a power washer (max 50 bars).
- If required repeat the above procedure – for difficult or stubborn staining.
- Allow the surface to dry for 2-3 good drying days before applying a chosen finish.
