Is your wooden deck affected by atmospheric pollution, algae growth, or graying? Are you struggling with grease and oil stains in hard-to-reach cracks and crevices? Would you like to restore your beloved outdoor living space to its natural beauty?

Cleaning wooden terraces doesn't have to be complicated - with the glimtrex® terrace wood cleaner it is easy and effective.

Cleaning wooden terraces - Why it is so important

A wooden deck is more than just a building component—it's the place for cozy barbecues with friends, relaxing hours in the sun with a good book, or enjoying breakfast al fresco. The warm, natural feel of wood underfoot, the unmistakable scent, and the vibrant grain make your deck a truly special place. But wind, weather, and regular use leave their mark.

Regularly cleaning wooden decks is crucial to maintaining this oasis of well-being. glimtrex® Decking Cleaner is specially formulated to combat dirt where conventional cleaners fail: in deep grooves, cracks, and grooves. Suitable for all types of wood in the garden, this quality product restores the natural beauty of your wooden deck and significantly extends its lifespan.

Cleaning wooden terraces made easy - In 6 simple steps

Using glimtrex® decking cleaner is straightforward and effective. Here's how to perfectly clean your wooden decking:

1. Pre-wet wood : Moisten your wooden terrace thoroughly with water
2. Apply cleaner : Depending on the degree of soiling, apply pure or diluted (up to 1:10 with water) to the wet wood
3. Allow to work : Give the cleaner a few minutes to dissolve the stubborn dirt
4. Brushing : Remove loosened dirt with a root brush and additional water
5. Rinse : Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all cleaning residues
6. Let it dry : Let it dry completely for 24 hours and enjoy the regained beauty

For particularly heavy soiling, the process can easily be repeated. With this simple method for cleaning wooden decks, you'll achieve optimal results without much effort.

Cleaning and protecting wooden terraces - The perfect combination

A clean wooden deck is like a new lease on life – the natural wood color is restored, the grain becomes visible, and the entire outdoor area appears inviting and well-maintained. But maintaining this long-lasting appearance requires more than just cleaning.

After thoroughly cleaning your wooden deck and allowing it to dry completely (24 hours), we recommend treating the wood with glimtrex® exterior oil. This high-quality oil penetrates deep into the wood pores and protects against further graying and weathering.

The combination of thorough cleaning and subsequent oil treatment ensures that your wooden terrace not only looks beautiful for the moment, but remains a place where you feel comfortable and which you can proudly present to your guests for years to come.

The ideal conditions for cleaning wooden terraces

For perfect results when cleaning wooden terraces, you should observe the following conditions:

• Processing temperature at least +8°C
• Wood moisture content below 18%
• Humidity below 60%
• For large terraces, work in sections so that the cleaner does not dry

The early spring months and late fall, in particular, offer ideal conditions for cleaning your wooden deck and preparing it for the upcoming season. A sunny, not too hot day without rain is perfect for this task.

Cleaning wooden terraces - Economical and productive

Regularly cleaning wooden decks is not just a matter of aesthetics, but also an investment in maintaining their value. The glimtrex® Decking Cleaner also impresses with its excellent coverage: Depending on the degree of soiling and the chosen dilution, one liter is sufficient for approximately 15 to 75 m².

The product is available in convenient 1.0-liter and 2.5-liter containers—ideal for everything from small balconies to spacious patios. The product's cost-effectiveness makes it a smart choice for anyone who values good value for money.

Tips for permanently beautiful wooden terraces

A regularly cleaned wooden deck is more than just a functional space—it's a statement about your lifestyle and your appreciation for natural materials. To ensure you enjoy your wooden deck for a long time, here are some additional tips for cleaning and maintaining wooden decks:

1. Regular sweeping : Remove leaves, needles and other debris regularly to prevent moisture buildup
2. Immediate stain removal : The faster stains are treated, the easier they are to remove
3. Annual cleaning : Plan a thorough cleaning with glimtrex® decking cleaner at least once a year
4. Lifting furniture : Use furniture coasters to avoid pressure marks
