Net-Trol is a powerful wood cleaner and brightener which restores greyed and weathered wood to its natural colour without damaging the wood’s fibres. It effortlessly removes both surface and ground-in dirt leaving the wood looking bright and vibrant. Net-Trol is fast-acting and can restore the original colour of your wood surface in as little as 15 minutes with no laborious and backbreaking sanding!

Benefits of using Net-Trol

It is safe to use on all exterior wood types and is also an excellent degreaser for use on tropical hardwoods to allow finishes like Deks Olje D1 to penetrate. Net-Trol can remove stains caused by tannin bleed and will remove all traces of weathering caused by mildew, pollution and UV rays. It will also neutralise wood surfaces which have been stripped with a stripping product such as Owatrol’s Dilunett or Prepdeck, leaving the surface ready for applying your chosen finish.

Net-Trol is not only for use on wood surfaces though – you can also use it to restore the lustre to faded plastics dulled by weathering and UV rays. It can also be used to remove rust stains and to clean discoloured stone and cement. Net-Trol is biodegradable and does not contain solvents or bleach. It’s not harmful to plants and shrubs so it’s safe to use in the garden!

    Better than other products we tried on near-white stone to remove rusting from fertiliser, though not wholly 100% effective. There’s a risk of using it at over-concentration strength, with mild scarring of the stone.
    Overall though, an effective product that I shall use again in the future.

    I bought Net-trol to clean a pair of weathered red cedar muskoka chairs … Whilst it did a reasonable job I have been a little disappointed as some areas look like they could do with another going over, obviously being an awkward shape doesn’t help … Being a somewhat delicate wood I didn’t want to scrub too hard for fear of damage so may well have been my fault … The test pice looks wonderful so I’m hopeful that when I get to to finish with the Textrol they will be beautiful again, unfortunately the weather has turned cold so have to wait …. Would I buy again? Definitely …. Was it easy to apply? Yes & clean up a dream
