Wet down again at project completion to prevent spotting of foliage. Interior Outlast KleenStart has a mild “bleaching” action which will change wood color slightly as it cleans. Test the effect of the solution in a small area. Application/Mixing Methods  Use hot water when possible, this yields more product and dissolves better. Do not mix more concentrate than can be used within 4 hours. Diluted product must be freshly mixed to be effective. Mix quart size jar into 5 gallons of fresh tap water or 8 gallons of hot water. For smaller batches mix ¼ to 1/3 cup granules per gallon water. KleenStart may not completely dissolve in water with certain mineral content and cooler water temperatures.

If so, simply filter the liquid prior to pouring into a pump-up or other sprayer to prevent clogging. Exterior Brush, pump-up garden sprayer or roll onto surface until wet. Allow liquid to sit for approximately 10 minutes to loosen soil and debris. Re-wet if it dries. Use nylon bristle brush to further loosen surface debris.
