Absolutely love this product! It’s truly amazing and I really like that it’s so non aggressive and safe for plants, animals etc.
I’ve told so many people about this product and I’m about to order more for some summer projects. Highly recommend. Also a great price as a little seems to go a long way!
Done stripping and staining the stable block. Turned out better than expected.
Before and after Net-Trol shots.
Had Iroko gates fitted 3 years ago and told to use Tung oil on them to maintain them - This left them black and looking awful.
Just finished using Aquanett, Net-Trol and D1 pro, on them and they now look as new. Really good products that really work. Could not recommend them enough.

Removed rust stains from sandstone patio. Our builder removed and old cast iron downpipe with an angle grinder sending tiny rust particles everywhere, including all over our newly laid patio. He was going to use an acid based patio cleaner to try to clean it but fortunately I'd read enough online to know that this would probably make matters worse and that net-trol was rated very highly for this problem. I treated the patio and it's cleared nearly all the rust after one application and before the builder got a chance to do it his way!

My softwood deck is over 2 years old, but its been left to weather without treatment. A couple of wet winters has left it grey, pretty dirty and with a fair amount of green algae on it.
Bought a bottle of Net-trol on a recommendation, and decided to give it a go neat. Pasted it on to the wood, gave it a real good scrub and then left it for 20 mins. A real good second scrub and then plenty of water onto it. As I washed it off, I could still see some green on it and didnt have much hope for it doing the job however, once it had dried it was remarkably clean and clear. Its lighter than it was originally, but no marks and looked great. I've now oiled it with another product and its like a new deck. Absolutely brilliant results all down to the Net-Trol cleaning it up so well. Its not cheap but its definitely worth it. 5 stars
Wouldn't usually take the time to review, but this product is exceptionally good. It cleaned up our neglected decking (4 years untreated) almost as good as new with a pressure wash rinse, even removing rust stains from the bbq gas canister. Well worth the money.
Great product. Completely removed a dark rust stain from Marshall paving slabs. After one application.
Excellent product

Net-Trol is the best Decking cleaner restore on the market. – I have tried numerous so called decking cleaners, Like “Does exactly what it says on the tin” – and others which are frustrating, time consuming and very costly given that they just don’t work. Having experienced poor perforing products, I only purchase 1ltr of Net-Trol to test it, well I was amazed how good it is.
Net-Trol is very easy and safe to use (I am a DIY user not a professional) simply apply with a brush, give it a good scrub and rinse off! (I tried both hosing it off and jet washing it off with very similar results) – My deck had been oiled with Ronseal Decking Oil 5 years ago, which had only lasted about 9 months, my deck had since been left to go very grey and very dirty for over 4 years !
I was delighted after using Net-Trol, this product does do exactly what it says on the tin, it may be a little more expensive per litre but given that it actually does the job it’s meant to do, it took substantially less time to complete the job and I believe it worked out cheaper, than the main brands.
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!

Used it on a softwood garage which is 4 years old. I have just had this garage extended, to match, but the difference between new and old was extreme due to the original half having greyed and weathered in its 4 years. So I used this product as described and am very pleased with the results. The 2 halves are now as close to matching as if they had been built at the same time. I wish I could attach a photo. Highly recommended.

I used Net-Trol on my very grey, dirty and UV stained Iriko wood windows and doors. Painted on and, after 5 minutes, pressure washed off to reveal the original wood – it was like magic! No more hours of scraping and scouring. Sealed with Aquanet and finished with wood oil – perfect! Have been recommending to everyone who will listen.

Had Iroko gates fitted 3 years ago and told to use Tung oil on them to maintain them – This left them black and looking awful.
Just finished using Aquanett, Net-Trol and D1 pro, on them and they now look as new. Really good products that really work. Could not recommend them enough.

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.

Tried the sample on some wood cladding. Struggling to see much difference. I will try again but bearing in mind the cost of the product i would expect seriously better results

Excellent product. Easy to use with a great result, from what we can see so far. Covered about 30% more surface area than estimated. Pricey but worth it. Excellent delivery service with good updates.
