OSMO UK, the eco-friendly wood and finishes specialist, brings tired looking and aged wood back to life with its powerful cleaning agent, Osmo Wood Reviver Power Gel. This product has been especially developed to restore exterior wood, including wooden decking, timber cladding and garden furniture, back to its original colour and character. Available in 0.5 litre and 2.5 litre, Osmo Wood Reviver Power Gel is a jelly-like cleaner that effectively cleans and refreshes greyed and weathered exterior wood. Made from environmentally friendly and biodegradable ingredients, the product is free from harmful solvents, chlorine compounds, amines and harmful odours. One coat of Osmo Wood Reviver Power Gel is sufficient to revive external wood back to its natural colour and appearance. This product is most effective on untreated wood that has been left to age. “Exterior wood can often look jaded and old after being exposed to the external elements for a long period,” comments Steve Grimwood, managing director of Osmo UK. “In particular, high UV rays can bleach exterior wood, giving the timber a greyed and lifeless appearance. Osmo Wood Reviver Power Gel is ready to apply straight from the tin. The application process should begin by removing debris and dampening the surface with water. If the surface has been treated in the past, users should apply the Osmo Paint Remover Gel, which removes old oil-based finishes and stains. Once completed, the Wood Reviver Power Gel should be generously applied along the wood grain. The solution requires just 20 minutes to gently work into the wood’s surface before being scrubbed with a hard bristle or scrub brush. Once rinsed with plenty of water, it is recommended to allow 48 hours drying time before applying a finish, such as Osmo Natural Oil Woodstain, Decking-Oils and Country Colour.  01296 481220  www.osmouk.com
