                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I am missing something. Why would I introduce chemicals to the wood (cleaner) then have to neutralize with the brightner if the material is clean ? I could see the brightner as it's a liquid it would raise the grain and open the pores a bit more for deeper penetration after I sanded and buffed it smooth. What can the cleaner do that my sanding equipment can not achieve ?]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I am a wood floor finisher and I have a client with roughly 1500sqft of tongue and grove pine decking he would like sanded and stained as well. The home is located in Michigan so I am thinking the TWP 100 SERIES. My question is after I sand and buff out the deck is a brightner even needed ? The surface area will be clean and they are choosing a lighter colored stain so I am not sure if I still need to open the grain up further as I am assuming that is part of what a brightner can do.]]></content:encoded>
