Professional Oxygenated Wood Cleaner for Fence & Deck Restoration
EXPERT Eco Cleaner™ is a concentrated powder wood cleaner made from 100% sodium percarbonate, a safe oxygen-releasing compound that lifts organic growth from wood fibers without the harsh damage caused by chlorine bleach.
When mixed with warm water, the formula activates and creates a visible bubbling action that breaks down:
✔ Mold
✔ Mildew
✔ Algae
✔ Organic stains
✔ Dirt buildup
Ideal for:
• Fence cleaning
• Deck cleaning
• Dock cleaning
• Pergolas & siding
• Unsealed or weathered wood
Why Powder Concentrate Is Better
Unlike liquid cleaners that ship mostly water, EXPERT Eco Cleaner™ is a pure concentrated powder.
That means:
✔ No fillers
✔ No diluted formula
✔ Longer shelf life (36 months unopened)
✔ Mix strength control (light or heavy cleaning)
✔ Lower shipping weight
✔ More gallons per container
1 container (32 oz) makes approximately 4 gallons of active cleaning solution.
Mixing Instructions |
To activate properly, Eco Cleaner™ must:
• Be mixed in warm water
• Be used the same day (within 4 hours)
Standard Mix Ratio:
• 1 cup per gallon (maintenance cleaning)
• Up to 1.5 cups per gallon (heavier buildup)
Stir thoroughly before transferring to the sprayer to prevent clogging.
Application Instructions |
-
Pre-wet the surrounding plants and wood surface
-
Apply using a pump sprayer or brush
-
Allow to dwell 5–20 minutes
-
Agitate if necessary
-
Rinse thoroughly using lowest effective pressure
Bubbling action indicates active oxygen release and stain breakdown.
Important: Always Brighten After Cleaning
Eco Cleaner™ removes organic growth but may leave wood darker in tone.
For full restoration, always follow with:
Step 2 – Wood Brightener / Neutralizer
This restores natural wood color and balances pH before staining.
Allow wood to dry 48–72 hours before applying stain.
Wood moisture content must be 13% or lower before staining.
Safety & Storage
• Store in a dry, temperature-controlled space
• Shelf life: 36 months unopened
• Do not mix with other chemicals
• Wear gloves, eye protection, and a respirator
Safe for surrounding vegetation when used as directed and rinsed thoroughly.

FAQs – EXPERT Eco Cleaner™ |
What is sodium percarbonate?
Sodium percarbonate is an oxygen-releasing compound that activates when mixed with warm water. It safely breaks down organic growth like mold, mildew, and algae without the harsh effects of chlorine bleach.
Is this safer than chlorine bleach?
Yes. EXPERT Eco Cleaner™ is a non-chlorine oxygenated wood cleaner. It does not contain sodium hypochlorite (chlorine bleach), making it safer for surrounding plants, docks, pets, and environmentally sensitive areas when used as directed.
Does this kill mold and mildew permanently?
Eco Cleaner™ removes surface mold, mildew, and algae. However, no wood cleaning product can permanently prevent organic growth from returning. Proper drying, sealing, and maintenance are required for long-term protection.
Can this remove old stain or paint?
No. Eco Cleaner™ is designed to remove organic stains and surface contamination. It does not strip intact paint, solid stain, or sealed coatings.
How long does the mixed solution last?
Once mixed with warm water, the solution should be used within 4 hours for maximum effectiveness. After that, the oxygen activation decreases.
Do I need to use a wood brightener after cleaning?
Yes. Eco Cleaner™ removes organic buildup but may darken wood slightly. Always follow with a wood brightener (Step 2) to restore natural wood color and balance pH before staining.
Is it safe around plants and landscaping?
Yes, when used properly. Always pre-wet the surrounding vegetation before application and rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
How much coverage does one container provide?
A 32 oz container makes approximately 4 gallons of cleaning solution. Coverage ranges from 150–250 sq. ft. per gallon, depending on surface condition and application method.
Can I use it on docks or near water?
Yes. Because it is chlorine-free and oxygen-based, it is suitable for docks and waterfront structures when used according to label directions.
What happens if I don’t brighten after cleaning?
Without neutralizing and brightening, wood may appear darker, and stain performance may be affected. Step 2 is strongly recommended before applying the stain.
