I have an exterior door that has stains on it from the sun and pollen from trees. Will this work? Any other suggestions? Thanks

Yes it will work. Just make sure your door is clean, and lightly sanded to remove stains (if you wish). Keep in mind this is an easy, but long process, simply due to the drying (curing) time of the oil, and the fact you will probably want at least 2 coats. This is an air curing oil, so temp, humidity, etc. play into all of this. You are easily looking at a couple of days. Also keep in mind this may change the color of the door slightly. Hope this helps and good luck.

In my opinion, yes, it will work. You may have to use more than one coat, but it's worth it. Also, it is easy to apply, and cleans up with soap and water.

Of course you're talking about doing this after completely sanding it down. That's how you're going to remove all that. Then, I would guess, the finish would work. Start, as instructions say, with a coat of 50-50 with turps.

I use a product called natures miracle it is a stain and odor remover that work pretty good but also washing it in vinigar and then letting it dry outside also helps and works as well

I don't think it leaves a stain. I really have not used it on many painted surfaces. I used it outside around my covered deck, so that's aluminum siding, and around some exterior doors. I guess the door moldings are painted though. I have not noticed any discoloration or staining on any surfaces.

It would not work without cutting a section out of the weather strip. I used on exterior diir and has to cut about a 1 1/2" section out of the weather strip to get it to work. Other than that it works great. Old house and the bottom of the door always had movement and now it is secure.

Well, it certainly should. Sunshine, above freezing temperatures and no rain after application as per application instructions sure would insure it's effectiveness.It will kill the mold, mildew & moss growth and then rains should wash away the residual. GIVE IT 3-4 months to work. It will slowly "go away".If the moss is heavy it may then require another application to finish the job. Your roof should return to "like new".

I have used this on both the underside of skylights and the outside. The corners start to peel back after a year or so on both the inside and outside applications. Nail polish works.

That's hard to say. It has an awful odor and doesn't taste so great. Perhaps if you saturated some type of fabric and left it on the roof, it might work. Have you checked out methods of bear-proofing - boards with nails sticking up, etc.?

This is a phenomenal product which cleans very effectively. If your description of "deeply imbedded mildew and mold stains" refers to years of neglect combined with sun damage, then there is a possibility the stain will not disappear. Suggest you scrub area thoroughly, following the bottle instructions, and either keep the item in the shade, and repeat the scrubbing several times, or place a tarp over the affected area to keep it from the sun, and clean several times.

Place tomato stained items outside in direct sun for several hours...staining should be removed.

I don't know that that is the best idea because the material is a little light. for an exterior door you might want one of the plastic door guards that you attach to the bottom of the door, hanging down.

Not all that bad - you just really need to apply outdoors - dissipates rather quickly but again the key here is to apply when outside. Does not leave a lasting odor but will have a smell for maybe 3-4 hours after applying. After that no smell, product works great!

It depends on how much rain you get. You're in MD (I'm in VA) which effects how quickly W&F; works. Down here in VA Beach it takes about 2 maybe 3 months do get rid of the mold. I would say you could probably stain after that. We've used it on the 25 year old concrete walk & it looks like it was laid last week. We apply every Fall because after a year it's not working anymore.

I use it outside but cover with a wood cabinet ( stained ). I think it is ok for this under the rain but I am afraid it expose to the Sun ( UV ) too much and make the plastic crack.

I have weather stripping on my doors and it does not interfere with the door. You may find that the door closes a little harder or tighter than normal but shouldn't interfere other than that.

This is exactly my question too! I had an indoor sofa covered in Sunbrella fabric and put outside - the rain puddles in the seat and seeps through the seams so I have some mold underneath. I don't know if its dangerous but would like to use this ... did you try it and did it work? Thanks in advance

No, I used it outside on vinyl windows to match doors in Greenhouse. It is a combo of paint and primer. Great stuff!

Pre-treat the stains, and it should work well. I have several dogs, so that's a big reason I have it.
