Here’s what you can expect from an expert oiling or staining service:
Applying Woodoil or Stain
Getting it Right – Every Time
At TK Revive, we know that applying oil or stain to timber cladding isn’t something you want rushed. It takes a steady hand, the right technique, and a good dose of patience to get that smooth, streak-free finish.
We use a speedbrush for the job — thousands of fine bristles that work the oil deep into the cedar, helping it soak properly and giving you a longer-lasting, better-looking result.
It’s a bit of an art, really. Press too much and the product runs; not enough and you don’t get that deep protection. That’s where our experience and quality tools make all the difference.
If you want your Matakana home looking its best and built to last, TK Revive is the team you can trust.

The cedar sanding process
- Choose the Right Grit: Start with a coarser grit (like 80-120) to remove rough spots, then progress to a finer grit (like 220) for a smooth finish.
- Use the Right Tools: A random orbital sander is effective for large areas, while hand sanding may be needed for intricate details or corners.
- Sand with the Grain: Always sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid scratches and damage.
- Dust Management: Wear a mask and use a vacuum or dust collection system to minimize dust, which can be harmful when inhaled.
- Clean Before Finishing: After sanding, clean the surface with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris before applying any finish.
- Regular Maintenance: Depending on your climate, consider sanding every few years to keep the cladding in good condition.
Sanding cedar cladding can significantly enhance its aesthetic and structural integrity, making it a worthwhile maintenance task.
Cedar Cleaning
Why Cleaning Your Cedar Cladding Matters
Your home is one of your biggest investments — and keeping it looking great, inside and out, is all part of protecting it.
Regularly cleaning your cedar cladding is essential, and here’s why:
1. Keep That Natural Beauty
Over time, dirt, grime, and stains can dull the natural colour and grain of your cedar. A regular clean helps keep it looking fresh, vibrant, and true to its original character.
2. Stop Mould and Mildew in Their Tracks
Cedar naturally resists decay, but if left dirty and damp, mould and mildew can still sneak in. Regular cleaning helps prevent these issues — protecting your timber and your health.
3. Make It Last Longer
Removing debris and organic matter stops moisture from sitting against the wood, reducing the risk of rot and helping your cedar cladding last for many more years.
4. Prepare for a Perfect Finish
Planning to re-oil or stain your cladding? A clean surface is key. It allows finishes to stick properly and creates a smoother, more even result.
5. Boost Your Curb Appeal
Well-maintained cedar doesn’t just look good — it lifts the entire look of your property. Fresh, clean cladding can even help boost your home’s value.
6. Easier Upkeep in the Long Run
Stay on top of it, and you’ll save yourself time and effort later. Regular cleaning makes ongoing maintenance quicker, easier, and less expensive.
Cleaning Tips
- Use Mild Detergents: Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the wood. A mixture of water and mild soap is often sufficient.
- Soft Brushes or Mops: Use soft-bristle brushes or mops to avoid scratching the wood.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure that all soap is rinsed away to prevent residue buildup.
- Consider Pressure Washing: For heavily soiled areas, a pressure washer set on a low setting can be effective, but be cautious to avoid damaging the wood.
Regular cleaning helps maintain the beauty and integrity of your cedar cladding, ensuring it remains a stunning feature of your home for years to come.
With expert cedar cleaning from the team at TK Revive, you can not only bring your cedar timber back to its best, but maintain it for longer. With a bit of care and a healthy dose of expertise, we can make it look almost new again and keep it that way.
