FAQs
Can I use this cleaner on my painted garden bench?
This cleaner is designed for natural, unfinished wood. Using it on painted surfaces may damage the paintwork or not be effective. Always test in an inconspicuous area first if you intend to use it on previously treated wood.
How long does it take for the wood to be ready for re-oiling?
The wood needs to be completely dry after cleaning and rinsing. This typically takes a minimum of 24 hours.
What is the coverage rate?
One liter of Libéron Garden Furniture Cleaner covers approximately 30 square meters.
Does this product kill mould and mildew permanently?
The cleaner removes existing mould, mildew, and fungi, and it helps to prevent re-growth. However, ongoing environmental conditions can still encourage future growth, so regular maintenance is recommended.
Can I use this on my wooden decking?
Yes, this cleaner is ideal for natural decking that has dulled and faded over time, helping to restore its appearance and remove grime.
What should I use to apply the cleaner?
The water-based formula can be applied effectively with a brush.
How should I store the product?
Store the cleaner in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost, with the container tightly closed.
Troubleshooting
Wood remains dull after cleaning
Ensure the cleaner was left on long enough to penetrate the wood and that scrubbing was thorough. For heavily greying wood, a second application might be necessary before re-oiling.
Black spots persist
For stubborn black spots caused by mould or lichen, more vigorous scrubbing might be required. Allow the cleaner to dwell for a longer period (up to 30 minutes) on these specific areas, ensuring it doesn't dry out.
Wood feels rough after drying
This can sometimes occur with older wood. Light sanding after the wood is completely dry may be beneficial before applying a protective oil.
