Has anyone used this to clean a cedar deck?

I used this product once and only once, finding it to be no better than any other cleaning product (but I didn't use it on wood). However, personally I think I'd use a pressure hose to clean a deck. (You can rent them and they do a fantastic job.)

I've used it on a ton of stuff. Works great for me. As per your question, I've never used it on a cedar deck, but as one person already stated, the site has a lot of testimonial videos and one of them is cedar siding. So your deck shouldn't be a problem.

Go to the Stain Solver website. They have dozens of testimonials from people who purchased, I'm sure cedar deck is in there.

Definitely...it is so easy to clean out too...just make sure u clean the filter out quite frequently...I just bang it off the deck to get dust off...make sure the embers/ashes aren't hotttt...that wouldn't be good...:(

I used it on cedar to keep it from graying. It turned out nicely with no overly obnoxious odor. Went on easy, dried quickly, and easy clean-up.

I was able to easily scrape most of the Restore off my wooden deck with a putty knife. I then paid someone to power wash and hand sand to remove the rest. You may need something like a bristle brush for cement. I opted to replace it with Defy Extreme Wood Stain. I didn't feel comfortable trying Behr Deckover after the Restore experience. I don't have any recommendations for cement.

I used it on a outdoor deck storage box, with no prep, just cleaning it and it came out fine. More than a year and to sign of peeling or anything negative. I love the product.

The Xicar solution is good to use, but not to often. The glycol in the solution will "seal" the cedar if you use it too much. I use distilled water, and once a year use the solution. The solution fights mold, but mold doesn't grow until humidity reaches almost 80%, so it really is unnecessary. I hope this helps. Long ash!

We cleaned it up with a paper towel first and then used a little water after and it worked well with wood. We used this on a very old table and had good results. I hope this helps.

I have not used it in this way- I use it to mold and replace victorian decorative woodwork. I suggest going to their website (google product name) or doing a search of YouTube videos for information from people with experience with decks.

I had great luck with the Cedarsheild on my deck. Why don't you call the people at Cedarshield and see what they say. They were very helpful.

I bought this for use around my boat because of the continual spider and web problem, and it works well. However, I do not have a cedar dock or decking to tell you whether it hurts the wood. The can produces a fairly fine spray, so it is not likely you would be soaking the wood to any degree. But most importantly, if there is a Home Depot near you, it is less than $5 there. I made the mistake of buying it here and paying $14.

Yes, I have. You need to soak the cedar plank for many hours to be sure that it is really soaked - otherwise it just burns and flames.

It just takes practice. I've used two mop brands on laminate floors and both worked fine. The O'Cedar wrings slightly dryer, but the trade-off is the relatively fragile twist lock button -- if it breaks, you lose your mop. Either would be fine mops for your floors -- and I just noticed your question is a year old! But maybe the answers will help someone else.

I use it for cleaning my deck, I would not use it for cleaning my kitchen floor. It is for heavy duty jobs.

I bought this to refresh my cedar chips. It has the same fragrance and I have had luck with this, so far.I know you can refresh your cedar block by sanding them lightly. Hope this helps.

Laura, I have only used the power washer on my deck to remove old paint and accumulated dirt. I am not sure that it would remove mildew, and I suppose that you could use a cleaner with bleach in it even though I have not tried that.

Simple answer - yes. I bought this for use at the horse barn where I volunteer. We have lots of dust and lots of cob webs. It works great at removing the cob webs as well as dusting the difficult to reach surfaces. Hopes this helps.
