The difference between a brand-new deck and one that’s been accumulating dirt, dust and grime for ten years is night and day.

One beautifully accentuates your outdoor space while the other may as well be a giant “don’t-step-foot-here” sign.

While it’s easy to spot the difference between a well-maintained deck and one left to rot and decay, it can be tricky to figure out how to best care for your deck. Do you grab a kitchen sponge and get to scrubbing? Power washing? What’s the best thing to keep it looking brand-new for as long as possible?

Power washing is a well-known and critical component of deck cleaning—often what most think of when looking for a place to start.

However, power washing alone is just one part of the equation. Not only can it be difficult and time-consuming to get every last speck of dirt, but it’s all too easy to stay in one spot for too long and damage the wood.

This can also happen when using one of the more powerful settings on your power washer.

To avoid it, use due diligence, be careful while you clean, and use deck cleaner and power wash on a setting that isn’t too powerful. Our deck cleaner uses oxygenation to lift some of the dirt and grime away making it easier and more effective to power wash it. You’ll clean your deck thoroughly, you won’t ruin your wood in the process, AND save you some time.

Our deck cleaner brightens, refreshes and doesn’t use bleach or harmful chemicals, so you have peace of mind that nothing will damage your wood.

So, now you know the one-two punch method behind the most beautifully-maintained decks.

You may not have to get out there and begin cleaning immediately, but sooner is always better than later.

It’s better to spend a few hours working on the deck than to ignore it and have it look more like a home for termites instead.
