Introduction

Why Weathered Wood Needs Reviving

Over time, outdoor timber is exposed to rain, UV rays, and temperature swings, causing it to become grey, dull, and coated in algae or dirt. Traditional liquid cleaners often run off and fail to penetrate thoroughly, leaving sections untreated.

Why Use Lacq Turbogel

Lacq Turbogel’s thick gel formula clings to the surface—whether vertical or horizontal—ensuring an even, deep cleanse. Plus, it’s water‑based and eco‑friendly, keeping your garden and the environment in mind.

How to Restore/Revive/Clean Weathered Wood

1. Surface Prep

   • Brush off loose dirt or debris.

   • Lightly dampen the wood with water.

2. Apply Turbogel

   • Stir the product well.

   • Spread a generous layer of gel using a brush or sponge, working along the grain.

3. Wait ~20 Minutes

   • Let the gel penetrate. It won’t run off thanks to its thick texture.

4. Scrub & Rinse

   • Use a stiff brush to loosen grime.

   • Rinse with water (avoid pressure washers, which can damage the wood).

5. Dry Fully

   • Allow ~48 hours for complete drying before applying any finish or oil.
