Thought I’d check with you guys before I screw it up.
This is a long time window cleaning customer of ours that asked to clean her deck.
It’s called Ipe aka ‘Brazilian Walnut’ and is very weather resistant. I just need to know how to clean it. The grey is natural, hasn’t been stained.
I have a customer with Ipe that I wash every couple of years. They use an oil to make it look great after cleaning I have honestly had to throw as much pressure as possible on parts of it to get rid of the old oil before they reapply
Ipe is also called ironwood and can take a lot of abuse I’m also a woodworker and Ipe will dull a blade quickly when working with it I’ve actually used a turbo nozzle on it to get it clean if they wait too long before cleanings
Clean it right and it’ll look great when you’re done.
Sodium metasicliate, normal pressure, ox afterwards.
I’m sure sodium per carbonate would work fine, too.
When you say ‘normal pressure’ are we talking about my usual 1500psi fan tip?
Yep. 1500-2000 psi
