1088665 OLY DECK CLEANER 2.5GL Olympic Deck Cleaner 2.5 gal (Pack of 2)

Easy to use on our composite deck. no scrubbing needed, no foul smell applying was easy , was affordable considering our deck is hugh.

I have used 2 other cleaners on my concrete driveway and get so so results. One 10 minute application of this and it looks new,

Olympic Deck Cleaner is one of the top products out there. All of the complaints out there about how the wood is turning out, I would bet they are not telling the whole story. First, let the cleaner do it's job. Put the power washer away! Your are only destroying the wood and prematurely aging it when you blast 3000 psi of water into wood, particularly if it's dry and never had a protectorant applied! Second, if you've neglected the wood or have inherited a worn deck, whether you use ODC or some other cleaner, plan on doing some sanding. Most of what you're trying to remove is organic of nature, whether it's moss, mildew or completely grayed out cedar siding, but a lot of it is pollution based. This is the only product I've found in over thirty years of painting that effectively handles both! And tree sap; some of the hardest substance to remove; doesn't stand a chance! And remember, like all cleaners, protect everything around where you are cleaning from overspray; bushes, plants; etc. Rinse thoroughly, but do it without having to plug something in or gas something up. Sorry my power washing buddies. Leave the wood alone.

I tried just about ever commericial deck cleaner and found that the Olympia Deck Cleaner to be the easiest to apply and produced the best results. The best part is that you do not need to use a power washer with it, just scrub it with a deck brush, let it sit for 10-15 minutes and hose it off. I used it on my cedar deck.

I think this would be a great product if used annually. If you let your deck go several years without cleaning it, the mildew, mold and algae have time to "build up," I neglected cleaning the deck around my pool for 7 years. Now my back and shoulders are paying the price for my "oversight." This product will soften the green algae, but it has to be removed in layers....or as I've done, using a plastic putty knife, a long handle stiff brush and plenty of scrubbing. Avoid using during the sunny time and heat of the day since evaporation becomes a real problem. What's that saying "An ounce of prevention." I will be cleaning my deck every year from now on.

"No Scrubbing Required." Not true. It's marketing hype. In fact the only thing that makes the product work is a long-handled scrub brush. Bring your muscles, your tenacity, and your resolve. The tricks to using this product are: - Don't use it in the heat of the day or in direct sunlight. - Spray on, give it a good 10 minutes, spray with water, and scrub like there's no tomorrow. -Rinse, look for places you missed, and scrub some more. And if you use a pump-type garden sprayer, Olympic Deck Cleaner will destroy the seals in your sprayer probably before you're done scrubbing your deck.

The product was received early but the bottles were opened and had just a little bit of bleach and water in them. Walmart said they would take back at the store and then when I brought them in the said they wouldn't. Call my credit card company to file a fraud report. Ridiculous Walmart let's 3rd party vendors like this participate on their website.

Everyone told me to use a deck wash before I stained the deck, so I went with Olympic. At first it seemed great. The old mold and mildew came off with just spraying using a pump sprayer. I waited the 10-minutes it said to, and then began to rinse off the directions stated. As I started to rinse away the product it started to leave a white film. At first I thought maybe it was old pollen coming out of the grain or something. I tried to scrub it out with a brush and that seemed to work in a few spots. Now I'm going to have to either pressure wash it or sand it. The point in buying this product was so that I wouldn't have to pressure wash it or sand it. Don't waste time or money with Olympic, just go ahead and pressure wash it!

Thank you for responding to my review. I expected the answer you gave since I had read a similar review. I want you to know that I followed the directions as outlined on the container to the letter. I made sure to leave the product on no longer than 5-10 minutes as stated in the directions and even timed it. I also made sure I applied the cleaner well after the sun had gone down and rinsed the product off for at least a steady 10 minutes. This product just did not do the job as it claims. The overall performance is actually poor. Yes, I am very upset to say the least.

Applied on one year old deck, did nothing but leave a white film on deck and fuzzies from me trying to scrub. Worked really good on two plastic chairs that were covered in mildew though. But on pressure treated deck did nothing. Now I have to sand half a deck. Thank Gid I only did half.
