Oxyclean is the brand name for a sodium percarbonate based cleaner. This product is well suited for removing stains from fabric and rugs but it lacks certain elements when used as a deck cleaner. While sodium percarbonate is a great cleaner for wooden decks, the amount of the compound in a brand like Oxyclean is not adequate. It is always best to seek deck cleaning products that are manufactured strictly for exterior deck cleaning not multi purpose cleaners made to clean everything under the sun.
Sodium percarbonate has several things that make it outstanding for wood cleaning. The first is that it kills mold. It is categorized as a mildewcide. In the right concentrations, this chemical can be combined with surfactants and other wood friendly ingredients to produce a near perfect deck cleaner that is both landscape friendly and can make your deck look new again.
