Owatrol Deep Cleaner, Powerful And Cleaner

Product Description

DEEP CLEANER is a powerful, water washable, solvent free remover and cleaner that strips out new, old and encrusted oils from exterior wooden surfaces and cleans severely weathered wood. Biodegradable, DEEP CLEANER is suitable for environmentally sensitive areas, while its gel consistency means it will not run, making it ideal for vertical surfaces. Easy to apply and fast acting, DEEP CLEANER quickly and efficiently removes the mill glaze, which is created in the manufacturing process, from the surface of new wood, thus improving the penetration and adhesion of a finish.
