Clean the deck with Grey Deck Cleaner and a deck preparation scrubbing brush like the one that comes in the UniPro decking kit. Use of a pressure cleaner is recommended but use the car cleaning nozzle. Pressure cleansers can erode timber with the standard high-pressure jet nozzle. If the deck looks terrific when wet then that's more or less the result you'll get after a couple of coats of oil.

Yes. Any outdoor situation. Also can be used indoors.

Not if you are re-applying Aussie Clear. Sanding is only recommended if your timber is really bad, or you’re switching from a water based film-forming product like Cabot Aquadeck.

Yes you can.

Preschem have a range of products that can prevent and treat it. Our products protect timber against decay, rot, fungicide, termites, borer and insect attacks.

Brown rot fungi utilize cellulose and the related constituents of the cell wall and leave lignin in a more or less unchanged condition.

White rot fungi concentrates its attack on the lignin within the cell and has the effect of breaking down the components of the wood. White rot usually leaves the wood fibres with a stringy appearance and white in colour.

Soft rot fungi like brown rot fungi tends to attack the cellulose of the cell. Wood affected by soft rot may change to a slightly darker colour but often remains ery similar in colour.
