Product Overview
Test the power of a professional deck restoration workflow with the Woodrich Brand Wood Restoration 3-Piece Sample Kit. Engineered for homeowners, contractors, and DIYers, this all-in-one trial kit lets you eliminate the guesswork and evaluate real-world results on your specific wood type before purchasing a full-size container. Each sample formula covers approximately 9 square feet, making it the perfect cost-effective solution for testing small sections of exterior decks, fences, wood siding, log cabins, or interior hardwood furniture.
What’s Included in the 3-Piece Kit:
- EFC38 Wood Cleaner Sample: A concentrated, eco-friendly cleaner designed to lift deep-seated dirt, mold, mildew, and environmental buildup. It safely opens the wood grain to prepare the surface for optimal stripping or brightening penetration.
- HD80 Heavy Duty Wood Stripper Sample: An industrial-strength, fast-acting gel formula built to cut through tough, stubborn finishes, old solid-color stains, urethanes, varnishes, and latex paints. The cling-gel consistency stays in place on both vertical siding and horizontal deck boards without dripping.
- Citralic Wood Brightener & Neutralizer Sample: A biodegradable brightening agent that targets ugly tannin bleed, gray weathering, and dark streaks. It neutralizes the wood’s pH balance following chemical stripping, making the surface completely ready to hold a fresh coat of wood stain or sealer.
Key Performance Benefits:
- Complete Multi-Step Workflow: Clean, strip, and brighten/neutralize to see exactly how your wood responds at every single stage of a professional restoration project.
- Universal Wood Compatibility: Delivers premium results on both softwoods and hardwoods, including cedar, pressure-treated pine, redwood, oak, mahogany, and maple.
- Eco-Conscious Formula: Contains biodegradable, low-odor ingredients that rinse away cleanly and safely without releasing toxic fumes or damaging surrounding landscaping when used as directed
- Pressure Washer Prep Companion: Specially formulated to work efficiently with standard consumer or contractor-grade pressure washers (recommended 1,200–1,500 PSI) for easy rinsing.
How to Use Your Sample Kit
Prep
- Remove loose debris, dirt, or peeling finish with a stiff broom or scraper.
- Wet wood surface with clean water.
Step 1: Clean with EFC38 Wood Cleaner
- Mix the EFC38 sample with approximately 1 gallon of warm water (follow included measuring scoop).
- Apply liberally using a pump sprayer, garden sprayer, or stiff-bristle brush.
- Scrub gently in the direction of the wood grain until surface contaminants lift.
- Rinse thoroughly with a pressure washer (1,200–1,500 psi) or garden hose until runoff is clear.
- Allow wood to dry for 24–48 hours.
Step 2: Strip with HD80 Heavy Duty Wood Stripper
- Stir HD80 sample thoroughly before use.
- Apply a ¼–⅜-inch thick coat of HD80 to a 9 sq. ft. test area using a stiff-bristle brush or professional stripping brush.
- Let sit for 15–30 minutes (longer on multiple-coat finishes). Spray with water to check if finish is blistering, if not, wait an additional 5–10 minutes.
- Agitate with a stiff scraper or brush to lift remaining finish.
- Rinse surface completely with a pressure washer (1,200–1,500 psi).
- Inspect wood; repeat HD80 application if stubborn finish remains.
- Allow wood to dry 24–48 hours.
Step 3: Brighten & Neutralize with Citralic
- Pre-mix Citralic sample with 1 gallon of water per instructions.
- Saturate the test area using a pump sprayer, brush, or roller.
- Let Citralic dwell for 10–15 minutes; you should see wood grain “pop” and gray tannin bleed lift away.
- Lightly scrub with a soft nylon brush for deeper cleaning.
- Rinse thoroughly, neutralizing pH is essential before sealing or staining.
- Allow wood to dry completely (24–48 hours) before applying any sealant or stain.
