Did exactly as the container said and now I have this weird white residue all over it. Went from a pretty redwood to this old looking wood. Winter is about here and need to get the deck sealed. DO NOT USE THIS STUFF!!!!

Hi Zack, The deck turned white because the product had been left on the surface too long. It will start to strip the color out of the wood if left on too long – leaving the surface white.
The label recommends 5-10 minutes, since different types of wood or the condition of the wood can affect how this product cleans.
We would recommend that you sand the deck to remove the white fuzzy layer, then rinse it off and allow to dry for a day or two before applying any type of coating. You should not stain over this white layer.
Please reach out to our technical services team directly for solutions specific to your issue at 1-800-426-6306 between 9am-5pm EST.
We really appreciate you choosing Olympic Paints and Stains and we look forward to the opportunity to earn back your trust.

Love this deck product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Product Review: Olympic® Premium Deck Cleaner
I recently had the opportunity to use the Olympic® Premium Deck Cleaner, and I must say it lives up to its promises. This product is incredibly effective in rejuvenating weathered wood and preparing surfaces for staining or sealing.
Pros:
1. Powerful Cleaning Action: The Olympic® Premium Deck Cleaner did an excellent job of removing dirt, mildew, and algae from my deck. It lifted stains that had been embedded in the wood for years, restoring its natural color.
2. Ease of Use: The cleaner is straightforward to apply. I used a garden sprayer to distribute the product evenly over the deck surface. After letting it sit for about 10-15 minutes, a light scrubbing with a deck brush was all it took before rinsing off with a hose. The instructions were clear, and the process was hassle-free.
3. No Harsh Chemicals: I appreciated that this cleaner is bleach-free and doesn’t have a harsh chemical smell. It felt safer to use around plants and pets compared to other products I’ve tried.
4. Quick Results: The product works relatively fast. I noticed the difference almost immediately after application. The entire cleaning process took less time than I anticipated, which was a big plus.
Cons:
1. Surface Sensitivity: While the cleaner is powerful, it’s essential to follow the instructions carefully. Leaving it on for too long or not rinsing thoroughly can cause slight discoloration, especially on softer woods. Testing a small area first is advisable.
2. Limited Coverage: Depending on the size and condition of your deck, you might need more than one bottle. The coverage is good, but heavily soiled or larger decks may require extra product to achieve the best results.
Conclusion:
Overall, Olympic® Premium Deck Cleaner is a solid choice for anyone looking to restore and clean their deck. Its ease of use and effectiveness make it a go-to for both DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike. While it may require careful handling on some surfaces, the results speak for themselves. Your deck will look refreshed and ready for staining or sealing after using this product.

Highly recommend
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This did an amazing job cleaning up my neglected deck . I was a bit hesitant because ive scrubbed time and time again, but had let everything sit for far too long and nothing was working. This made the job seem like it was nothing.

Deck is Ready for the Summer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Olympic Premium Deck Cleaner is the best. No mixing is involved and it easily cleaned my 200 sq deck with ease. My deck was filled with mildew stains and this cleaner washed them away. I put on the cleaner for 10 minutes then washed it away with a hose. It was easy to use. My deck is built with composite wood. This cleaner had no trouble cleaning it. I highly recommend it all.

Does the job
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Olympic premium deck cleaner helped me clean up my deck perfectly. I didn't know something like this existed before I got to try this and I could see a drastic change in my patio after cleaning with this solution. So if you're looking for something to clean your deck, this is it I would highly recommend.

Looks like new!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Olympic Premium Deck Cleaner worked wonders on my deck. We have a large deck on the back of our house and we use it nearly every night. I had been looking for something to give it a good spring cleaning and this was perfect for that. It was easy to use and it got all the dirt and grime off, making it look brand new! I'll be using this again!

Works Great!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the Olympic Premium Deck Cleaner a few weeks ago, and it works great!! It removes dirt, mold and mildew. It is ready to use and required very little scrubbing. Apply it and let sit for 10 minutes, then wash off. It left my deck looking gorgeous!! I can also be used on concrete, which is great. I love all PPG products and this one did not disappoint! I highly recommend this awesome cleaner to everyone!!

A deck refresh!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We utilized Olympic Premium Deck Cleaner on our 8 year old pressure-treated wooden deck and are very pleased with the results! This solution is simple to utilize, and we opted to utilize a gentle sprayer to apply to the decking. Let the product sit for 10-minutes or so, and although scrubbing is not required, we did utilize a gentle brush to remove some grit and grime. Rinse, and voila! Our deck, with only a thin layer of transluscent stain was looking beautiful and refreshed. I love how gentle and quick-acting this formula is, and we did indeed get about 350 square feet of deck done with a single gallon. Our project requires 2 gallons, and it worked out perfectly by footage. Give your deck new life with Olympic!
