a. When scrubbing with steel wool, brushes or nylon pads always ensure the surface being scrubbed stays wet with the product being used.
b. Always scrub in the direction of the grain with a medium pressure.
c. Always ensure the scrubbing material is thick enough to allow a dry area between the surface being scrubbed and your gloves.
d. When scrubbing with a brush, only use the tips of the bristles during the scrubbing process, this will allow for the tips of the bristles to get into the open grain of timber like Oak as well as into grooves, corners and curves.
