Have some large areas of t&g wood to be stained - 45 sq/m
Will be using Sadolin Classic

I know I should have stained when new, but other priorities took over
..... wood is all sound but needs a wash down before staining ... on
North side has some black staining where mainly in shadow.


Read somewhere that you can wash down with Oxiclean, (Sodium
Percabonate) and that it is kinder to wood fibre than Chlorine bleach.

Anybody used this ...
See it readily available eg:

The solubility of sodium percarbonate is allegedly 120 gms per litre so
I suppose a 10% solution would be about right. Any more wouldn't dissolve
