Preparation

- BEHR PREMIUM® NO. 63 All-In-One Wood Cleaner MUST be used following NO. 64 to clean, brighten & neutralize wood.
- When NO. 64 is not needed, use a product such as NO. 63 to clean and brighten the wood surface and to remove light to medium exterior stains caused by mold, mildew, algae & fungus.
- Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry before coating. On new wood, use a product such as NO. 63 to remove mill glaze and open the pores of the wood. Lightly sand to remove remaining wood fibers/fuzz.

Application
- Must apply between 40-90˚F (4.5-32˚C). Do not use if rain is expected within 24 hours. The wood surface must be completely dry before application.
- No primer needed on most woods. However, Redwood, Cedar, Cypress and other “bleeding” woods contain water soluble extractives which may cause discoloration of white and pastel colors; therefore prime the above type woods with one coat of a product such as BEHR PREMIUM PLUS® NO. 436 Exterior Multi-Purpose Primer & Sealer.
- See label for additional instructions. Intermix multiple containers to ensure color uniformity
- Apply with a nylon/polyester brush. On rough-sawn or textured wood apply with a 3/4” (19 mm) long nap roller or high quality airless sprayer.
- For airless spraying use a .015 - .019" tip. Pump Sprayer not recommended. Always back-brush or back-roll during all application methods.
- Keep a wet edge to reduce lapping and help control color uniformity.
- Over application of stain will lead to surface failure including peeling and cracking. Avoid applying stain too heavily.
- Two coats may be necessary for complete hiding. Apply a thinner second coat after the first coat has thoroughly dried.

4 Common Myths About Wood Cleaners
I don’t need to use a wood cleaner
Not only does a wood cleaner remove dirt and mildew stains prior to coating, but it actually opens the pores of the wood for the coating to properly adhere to the surface.
I can complete my project without it
Properly cleaning the wood actually saves time in the long run by improving the longevity and durability of the stain.
It requires extra tools I don’t have
All you need is a water source and a stiff bristle brush to effectively clean a wood surface with wood cleaner. Follow all instructions.
Using a wood cleaner is complicated
If you’ve ever washed a car, then you can clean a wood surface with a wood cleaner!
