Restore-A-Deck Wood Stain Stripper – The Best Deck Stain Stripper
Powerful, Eco-Friendly Formula for Removing Old Stains & Coatings
Restore-A-Deck Wood Stain Stripper is a biodegradable, powdered concentrate that effectively removes old wood stains, clear sealers, and semi-transparent finishes while eliminating dirt, mold, mildew, and mill glaze. This Step 1 product in the Restore-A-Deck system ensures proper surface preparation before re-staining.
- Restore-A-Deck Wood Stain Stripper removes most oil and latex-based finishes, including clear sealers, transparent, semi-transparent, and semi-solid stains.
- One container mixes with water to make 5 gallons of solution, covering 500 to 1,000 sq. ft. for less than $7 per gallon.
- Always follow stripping with Step 2 Restore-A-Deck Wood Brightener to neutralize the surface and restore proper wood pH before re-staining.
- The stripper works on decks, fences, siding, pergolas, log homes, and outdoor furniture, but is not required for completely new, unstained wood.
- It will not fully remove solid color stains, paints, varnishes, or over-applied acrylic coatings; use RAD Paint & Solid Stain Stripper for those instead.

I am just had my deck power washed and the painter made a mistake and believed our previous stain was not a semi solid stain, he is now suggesting either sticking with a solid stain or stripping the previous semi solid stain. The previous stain was Sherwin Williams SuperDeck Semi Solid White Birtch, the power washing removed a good amount of the previous semi solid stain, however, the new semi transparent stain is not soaking in. Which wood stain stripper should I buy to finish the removal of the previous finish? Power washing did a pretty good job but there is still some blochiness present etc.
Add some pics for prep help.
The power washing took a good portion of the semi solid stain off. However it’s patchy and still has a residue.
It looks pretty good so far. Finish the job with the RAD Stripper: apply it, let it dwell 20–30 minutes without drying out, scrub with a stiff bristle brush, then rinse with the pressure washer. Once it is uniform, follow with the RAD Brightener, rinse, and let dry 48 hours before stainin
Would the stain stripper suffice here or are you recommending the solid stripper product?
The RAD Stripper (stain stripper) is the right product here for this since most is removed.
Thank you!
i’m about to restore my deck and realize i bought the cleaner instead of the stripper. can i possibly make an exchange?
Hi Paul,
You would have to cover shipping costs both ways (that could cost you $25-35), and we would not be able to ship the Stripper until the Cleaner is returned. It may be easier to order the Stripper and keep the Cleaner for future maintenance, but that is up to you.
BTW, have we given you advice already on your stripping project? If not, you may want to upload some pictures in the comments to ensure you have the correct products for the stripping.
Thanks for getting back.
I don’t see any beading up on the deck so from what I’ve read, the cleaner should probably be fine. I’ll hold on to the added stripper boost and thickening gel I purchased for the next time.
I’ve watched a lot of your videos and why I bought all the products to strip (along with the additives) the brightener and semi-transparent stain. Unfortunately I made the mistake of getting the cleaner and not the stripper.

Is your wood previously coated? If so, you need to remove the current stain before switching to a different semi-transparent stain brand or color.
