Cleaning a wooden deck that has turned green is no longer a headache.

Sodium percarbonate is a very effective solution for restoring the shine to old wood tarnished by time.
No need to buy an "anti-grey" product for wood.
Sodium percarbonate remains very economical compared to commercially purchased products.
And good news...
Unlike many commercial products, this mixture contains no harmful chemicals.
For furniture, do not hesitate to apply the mixture with a brush, it will be easier.
And it also works for sobering up wood siding and cleaning up blackened wood.
This trick works great with exterior wood.
You can thus whiten the blackened wood of the terrace, the garden furniture (chairs and benches), trellises or a wooden palisade.
Also think about it to sober up a teak table.
But it is also effective for sobering up interior wood for parquet or a wooden desk.
You don't have sodium percarbonate at home?
Know that you can also use sorrel salt to sober up wood. Cleaning a wooden deck with sorrel salt is just as effective.
Unfortunately, the use of sorrel salt is not without risk for the environment , because oxalic acid (sorrel salt) is not biodegradable.
So use this recipe only if you have no choice:
1. Put on gloves.
2. In a bowl, put 4 tablespoons of sorrel salt.
3. Add 1 liter of cold water.
4. Mix.
5. With a sponge, apply the mixture to the tarnished wood.
6. Leave on for 10 to 15 minutes.
7. Rinse with plenty of clear water.
8. Wait 24 hours.
9. Apply a protection to the wood, such as wax.
