Introduction

Is your once-beautiful decking or garden furniture now looking dull and grey? Lacq Turbogel – Wood Reviver restores timber surfaces that have been battered by the UK weather. With a thick, water-based formula, this powerful gel clings to surfaces—allowing deeper penetration and more thorough cleansing than runny, liquid alternatives.

In this blog post, we’ll explore how Lacq Turbogel tackles discolouration, dirt, and even algae staining, giving outdoor wood a fresh lease of life. If you’re a homeowner, landlord, or facility manager looking to revive tired wooden surfaces—decking, fences, pergolas, or furniture—this easy-to-apply gel will help you uncover the natural grain beneath the grime.

Common Problems UK Customers Face

Greying & Discolouration
Constant exposure to rain, sun, and fluctuating temperatures causes wood fibres to break down, resulting in a drab, weathered appearance.
Built-Up Dirt & Algae
Outdoor environments accumulate layers of grime, moss, or algae, especially in damp or shaded areas—making wood look unkempt.
Traditional Cleaners Don’t Stick
Liquid solutions often run off vertical surfaces or fail to saturate the wood long enough to dissolve embedded dirt.
Uneven Finish & Patchiness
Inconsistent cleaning can leave surfaces blotchy, especially if the product doesn’t cling evenly to the wood.
Prepping for Refinishing
Before applying oils, varnishes, or paints, wood needs a thorough clean to ensure optimal adherence and a consistent finish.

If any of these sound familiar, Lacq Turbogel provides a targeted, efficient solution to revitalise your outdoor timber.

Why Do You Need This Product?

Restores Natural Beauty: Helps weathered wood regain its original look, colour, and grain definition.
Easy Application: Thick gel formula sticks to surfaces, ensuring uniform coverage—no endless scrubbing or dripping solution.
Prepares Wood for Oil/Sealer: Cleans deeply, so subsequent treatments adhere better and last longer.
Eco-Friendly & Water-Based: Low odour, safe around plants (with basic precautions), and kinder to the environment.
Saves Time & Money: Avoid replacing wood when a deep clean could make it look new again.

How It Works (Simplified)

1. Thixotropic, Water-Based Gel
This thick gel clings to vertical and horizontal wood, allowing active ingredients to penetrate and loosen dirt.

2. Deep Cleaning Action
Formulated with biodegradable oxalic acid, it lifts ingrained grime and greying layers without harming the wood’s structural integrity.

3. Brush & Rinse
After allowing 20 minutes of dwell time, simply scrub with a stiff brush or broom and rinse off.

No high-pressure jet needed (which can damage wood fibres).

4. Ready for Refinishing
Once the wood is dry (generally ~48 hours), you can apply oils or finishes to protect and enhance the newly revitalised surface.

Expert Advice & Tips

1. Preparation

Remove loose debris or heavy dirt with a broom beforehand.
Lightly wet the surface before applying the gel—this helps with even distribution.

2. Application

Stir Lacq Turbogel well.
Apply generously along the wood grain using a brush or roller.
Let it dwell for about 20 minutes to break down dirt and greying.

3. Scrub & Rinse

Use a stiff brush or broom to loosen remaining residue.
Rinse with water—avoid using a high-pressure washer that can damage wood fibres.

4. Finishing

Ensure the wood is fully dry (around 48 hours).
Apply a protective finish like Lacq Produra or a compatible wood oil/sealer for long-lasting results.

5. Maintenance

Regularly clear off leaves and debris to prevent moisture build-up.
Re-apply Turbogel as needed for heavily weathered areas.

FAQs & Troubleshooting

Is it safe for plants near decking or fences?
Take basic precautions—cover sensitive plants. The product is water-based and biodegradable, but rinsing run-off could contain loosened debris and mild acids.
Can I use it on painted or varnished surfaces?
Turbogel is formulated for weathered, bare wood. If the surface is coated, the gel may help strip some old finishes, but test a small area first.
How soon can I apply a wood oil or sealer afterwards?
Wait until the wood has completely dried—generally 48 hours or more, depending on weather conditions.
Does it remove algae or fungus stains?
Yes. It’s effective at breaking down organic growth like algae. Particularly stubborn fungal stains may require a second application.
Will I need special protective gear?
Wear gloves and eye protection to avoid direct contact, and ensure adequate ventilation. Oxalic acid is mild but can irritate skin or eyes.
