Cutek Quick Clean

Basic Use

Cutek Quick Clean is designed as a cost effective, biodegradable cleaner for the restoration of uncoated, dirty and weathered timber. Saraclean is less powerful than ProClean, however it is non hazardous, and will not damage substrates or vegetation adjacent to the timber surface being restored, eliminating the need for containment or masking.

It is important to note that the use of high-pressure water alone to clean timber will create damage to the wood fibers as well as uneven start and stop marks. Water alone will not remove biological growth from the timber.

It is also important to understand that the use of commercial and household cleaning solutions that contain bleaching agents such as Sodium Hypochlorite should be avoided. These chemical cleaners will harm the environment and will damage the timber tissue. Additionally, using bleach to clean timber may produce a film forming reaction in the outer wood fibers that causes a subsequent coating failure. Cutek Quick Clean on the other hand effectively sterilizes and cleans timber without these problems.

Cutek Quick Clean is excellent as a pre recoat wash for timber previously coated with Cutek® Wood Preservative that is due to be recoated, because it effectively removes accumulated dirt and loose pigmentation from the surface fibers of the timber.

Cutek Quick Clean can also be used for the cleaning of dirt, grime, oxidized paint, mould, fungi, moss and decayed material from wood, tiles, bricks, fibrolite, paths, driveways etc.

Limitations

Cutek Quick Clean is designed to be used as a cleaner and sterilizer on uncoated weathered timber surfaces, and other substrates. Cutek Quick Clean will not remove any paint, stain or clear finish that is in sound condition. In these situations CD77 Stripper must be used. When restoring a weathered timber structure with Cutek Quick Clean, it may be necessary to treat resistant areas with more powerful ProClean as required.
