The Olympic deck is not the best wood stain in the market but it does work well and will last a while. It is a good alternative to other expensive oil-based wood stains. It is easy to apply with a brush, roller or sprayer. It does not clog easily and spreads very evenly with no puddling or overlapping. It provides a nice subtle color while still allowing the natural texture of the wood grain to show through.

If you do use this product be sure to thoroughly clean with the premium deck cleaner before staining. The premium deck cleaner has 4 times the cleaning power of water alone so it will get rid of dirt and mildew stains quickly and without much scrubbing. Be sure to neutralize/brighten after rinsing with a weak acid such as oxalic or citric, but NOT bleach. Bleach will just change the color of the greyed fibers and not remove them. Also, be sure to add a mildewcide. This will help prevent any mold from forming under the stain. It is recommended to reapply every 12-18 months depending on weather conditions.
