Thanks for the quick response! I was actually hoping I'd hear back quick because I want to get started on the brightener as soon as I could. Great site!

I cleaned my deck (pressure-treated pine) yesterday and used Defy deck cleaner. It began storming and I was unable to apply the Defy brightener. The forecast now calls for rain/storms for the next several days. Should I use the brightener today, while it's not raining, or do it before I stain (hopefully) next week? Also, do I need to clean it again if it's longer than a week before I can stain it?
