Revitalise the colour of older garden furniture with Treatex Rejuvenator. Treatex Rejuvenator gently lifts dirt and the top most greyed layer of older wood from the surface of the timber, restoring the colour back to its original state.
It can be applied to both hardwood and softwood including decking, fences and garden furniture.
Treatex Rejuvenator is a non-toxic, solvent free cleaning agent, based on natural ingredients including a fatty acid extracted from coconuts and oxalic acid (oxalic acid is found in Rhubarb leaves, Brassicas and Parsley!).
Why do some timbers grey outside in the garden?
Over time, untreated timber turns silvery grey in colour. This is caused by several things including UV rays from the sun bleaching the colour out of the wood. Add in air pollutants and other biological actions taking place and over time your unfinished timber can end up looking grey and tired.
