Achieve Perfect Surface Preparation
Pre-Application Wood Cleaners are vital in ensuring wood surfaces are fully prepared for the application of protective finishes like paints, oils, varnishes, and lacquers. These specialist cleaners are designed to remove stubborn contaminants such as dust, wood tannins, oils, pollution, and stains that can compromise coating performance. Without proper cleaning, these contaminants can lead to poor adhesion and discolouration, preventing the coating from bonding effectively to the wood.
Why Pre-Application Wood Cleaning is Essential
Contaminants on untreated wood surfaces can drastically impact the lifespan and appearance of applied finishes. For naturally waxy or oil-rich wood types, such as teak and iroko, the issue is even more pronounced. Without using a pre-application cleaner, paints and oils may fail to adhere properly, leading to premature peeling and an uneven finish. A thorough clean with these products ensures the wood is ready to accept the coatings, allowing them to perform at their best.
Suitable for a Range of Wood Surfaces
These cleaners are versatile and can be used on a variety of wood surfaces, including interior and exterior wood floors, furniture, cladding, fencing, and decking. Whether prepping indoor furniture for varnishing or cleaning outdoor decking before applying an oil, these specialist products ensure all contaminants are removed, creating a clean surface ready for treatment.
Enhance Coating Performance with Proper Cleaning
Using a pre-application cleaner significantly enhances the performance of paints, varnishes, lacquers, and oils. By thoroughly cleaning away pollutants, soiling, and natural wood oils, you create an ideal surface for coating adhesion. This is particularly important for wood exposed to external conditions, where pollution and weather can heavily contaminate the surface. Proper cleaning helps to avoid coating failures and ensures long-lasting, high-quality finishes.
