From now through about mid April is a good time to do your first fertilization of the year.
I am not aware of any liquid dethatcher. If you don't overfertilize and overwater you should not have a thatch problem developing. Aerating the turf yearly will help reduce the existing thatch.
Thanks for the question. Please stop in again soon!
