Rubio monocoat exterior wood cleaner

Exterior wood is exposed every year to moisture, UV rays, pollution and biological attacks (moss, lichen, algae) that alter its appearance and weaken finishes applied afterwards. RUBIO MONOCOAT EXTERIOR WOOD CLEANER is a preparatory cleaner designed to restore the wood surface before applying any oil or finish, whether for decks, fences, exterior doors, carports or cladding.

Technical characteristics

  • Preparatory cleaner for all types of exterior wood (decks, fences, doors, carports, cladding)
  • Removes dirt, moss, lichen, grease and pollution
  • Removes mill glaze (surface sheen caused by planing) and tannin bleed (tannin migration)
  • Extends the lifespan of oils and finishes applied afterwards
  • Eco-friendly formula, gentle on wood
  • Indicative coverage of 100 to 200 ft²/L (approximately 9 to 18 m²/L)
  • Available in 1L and 5L packaging
  • Compatible with wood treated or untreated with RUBIO MONOCOAT products

Application tips

Before application, dust off and remove any coarse debris from the wood surface. The cleaner is typically applied with a brush, broom-brush or low-pressure sprayer, focusing on dirty areas or those affected by moss. Allowing the product some dwell time lets it work deeply before rinsing.

For heavily soiled or weathered grey surfaces, light mechanical brushing complements the cleaner's action and helps remove mill glaze. Then rinse thoroughly with clean water and let the wood dry completely before applying any RUBIO MONOCOAT oil or finish, to ensure optimal adhesion.

Insufficient rinsing or incomplete drying of the surface before finishing compromises the adhesion of the final product: take the necessary time between cleaning and applying the finish.

Pro tips

On exotic woods (ipe, cumaru) or heavily greyed surfaces, professionals often combine chemical cleaning with light localized sanding or mechanical brushing: the cleaner alone removes surface pollution, but well-established mill glaze sometimes needs this extra step to reopen the wood pores and ensure even penetration of the oil applied afterwards.

Another often overlooked point: fully drying the surface before finishing. Wood that still feels dry on the surface can be misleading, as residual moisture within the fibers can affect finish adhesion. On-site, professionals typically wait for a full drying cycle and check for any signs of moisture before starting oil application.

FAQ

Sur quels types de bois extérieur puis-je utiliser ce nettoyant ?

Il convient à tous types de bois extérieur : terrasses, clôtures, portes extérieures, carports et bardages. Il fonctionne aussi bien sur du bois déjà traité avec des produits RUBIO MONOCOAT que sur du bois brut non traité.

Ce nettoyant remplace-t-il un ponçage avant finition ?

Non, il s'agit d'un nettoyant préparatoire qui élimine la saleté, la mousse et le mill glaze en surface, mais il ne remplace pas un ponçage mécanique si le bois est très abîmé ou fortement grisé. Dans ce cas, combinez nettoyage et léger ponçage pour un résultat optimal.

Quel est le rendement de ce produit ?

Le rendement indicatif se situe entre 100 et 200 ft²/L, soit environ 9 à 18 m²/L selon l'état du support et la méthode d'application. Prévoyez une marge supplémentaire sur les bois très encrassés.

Faut-il rincer après application ?

Oui, un rinçage abondant à l'eau claire est nécessaire après le temps de pose du nettoyant. Laissez ensuite le bois sécher complètement avant d'appliquer une huile ou une finition RUBIO MONOCOAT.

Quelle différence entre le format 1L et le format 5L ?

Les deux formats contiennent la même formule ; le choix dépend uniquement de la surface à traiter. Le 5L est plus adapté aux grandes terrasses ou aux chantiers professionnels récurrents.
