DESCRIPTION: "HOUSE WASH" surface cleaner and brightener is a powdered concentrate that is mixed with water. "HOUSE WASH" is an environmentally friendly product that safely cleans, brightens, and restores the natural beauty of exterior and interior surfaces. Unlike chlorine bleach based cleaners, "HOUSE WASH" is biodegradable and will not harm wood fibers, pets, grass, or most plants.

USES:"HOUSE WASH" removes dirt, grime, mildew stains, previous loose coatings (not paint) and weathered graying from horizontal and vertical surfaces. "HOUSE WASH" is recommended for surface preparation prior to application of, or re-application of clear finishes, stains, paints and coatings. For best results on wood decks and fences use HY-TECH Water Repellant Wood Finishes.

NOTE: "HOUSE WASH" will darken Redwood. The California Redwood Association recommends using a solution of Oxalic Acid (wood bleach) in water to clean and brighten Redwood.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Use 6 - 8 oz. (3/4 - 1 cup) of Hy-Tech House Wash powdered concentrate per gallon of water.
STEP 1: MIX: Mix with water and stir thoroughly until powder is mostly dissolved. Powder dissolves faster in warm water. Solution should be used within 8 hours of mixing.
STEP 2: APPLY: Horizontal Surfaces: Dampen surface with water before application. Apply wood cleaner solution with sprayer, brush, or mop, working on small areas, (20-30 sq. ft.) at a time.
Vertical Surfaces - Dampen surface with water before application. Apply with a pump up type hand sprayer, working on small areas at a time. Begin at the bottom and work to the top.
STEP 3 : BRUSH IF NECESSARY: Horizontal Surfaces - Let solution stand approximately 10-15 minutes, keeping area wet with additional "HOUSE WASH" solution. Thoroughly scrub with a stiff, short bristle broom or brush if necessary.
Vertical Surfaces - Let solution stand approximately 10-15 minutes, keeping surface wet with additional "HOUSE WASH" solution. Solution should be applied from the bottom up to avoid streaking. "HOUSE WASH" will open wood pores. Some raising of wood fibers may occur. Remove fibers before applying finish.
STEP 4: RINSE: Rinse surface thoroughly with water. Repeat steps 2-4 on the next small area. Rinse cleaned area of vertical surfaces as work progresses to avoid streaking. Allow wood surface to thoroughly dry 4 to 6 days (on horizontal surfaces it may take longer) before applying HY-TECH sealants or water repellant wood finishes. Test surface with a few drops of water. If water is absorbed rapidly, the surface is ready for product application; if not, wait a few days and test again.

COVERAGE: One gallon covers 100-200 sq ft., depending on porosity of surface.
HEALTH, SAFETY AND HANDLING: Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged skin contact. Harmful if swallowed. Solution will not harm grass and is safe for most plants. Rinse grass and plants thoroughly with water after exposure. It is a good idea to pre-wet all vegetation before starting cleaning process. For more information, consult the Material Safety Data Sheet.
Caution: Surfaces wet with HOUSE WASH may result in a slippery surface.
