How to Prepare & Clean

Buildings

Garden buildings can vary in shape and size, but to gain the best finish you should prepare and clean correctly with Cuprinol.

Bare or untreated wood should be pre-treated with an appropriate wood preserver to prevent rot and decay, such as Cuprinol Wood Preserver Clear.

Surfaces should be dry and free from dirt. Remove any algae, lichen, fungi or moss using an appropriate fungicidal wash. Wood previously stained, painted, or varnished should be stripped back to bare wood.

After use remove paint from the brush with a cloth and then wash with water.
