Nope: I have Trex Tiki Torch decking under a lot of trees. I still had dark tanin stains after gently power washing this area. I checked the Trex cleaning instructions and they suggested using a deck "brightener". I sprayed the Olympic solution directly from the bottle, did a little scrubbing on the most heavily stained areas, and then followed up with another gentle power wash and the results were great!

Amazon Customer: Spray it on; leave it sit for 10-15 minutes and brush or wash with water hose. Did an awesome job.

Carol from Clinton: I have used this product for years and love it!!! Unfortunately none of the stores that had it no longer stock it. If you have a natural finish deck, you need this. Hose down the deck, apply with scrub brush, wait 1/2 hour, rinse and all the dirt from a MI winter is gone. There is another product you can use as step 2, the brightener. Apply with a scrub brush, let sit 1/2 hour, rinse. When dry, the wood looks brand new. Once surface is dry, you can apply clear coat, no need to wait days like other products.

Randy: I had used Olympic Deck Wash for several years both on wood and vinyl surfaces. The older formula smelled of strong clorox, but all you had to do is spray it on, and the stains just disappeared in an hour or two then just rinse with hose. This included those nasty black stains you get on pressure treated lumber, but it also worked great on vinyl thigs like lattice, fences and my vinyl tool shed. Green or dark mold instantly gone.

This new formula has no smell of clorox (which is the only nice thing about it), but it doesn't clean hardly anything without scrubbing it with a brush after letting it sit for 30 minutes. I found that if I wet the brush with water and dish washing liquid, it was just as effective as this newer version of Olympic.

A pressure washer is probably just as effective, in fact that is what I'm going to try on the stuff I didn't yet get cleaned.

Big disappointment, also, I noticed the price of this is abut three times what the old stuff cost which you could buy in home improvement stores, but they don't carry it any more which is why I bought it online.
