Consequently it is important to subject your deck to a regular deck cleaning and maintenance schedule if you want to keep it looking like new.<\/p>\n<p>A light deck cleaning can be done with a broom and some soapy water a few times a year. However at least once a year you should plan on a more serious deck cleaning. To properly clean a deck, first remove everything off of its surface and inspect the deck boards for any damage. Replace any damaged boards and use Turpentine and a plastic scrub pad to remove any dried sap stains.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Next use a broom or a leaf blower to remove all of the dust and debris off the surface of the deck. Follow with a garden hose and hand sprayer to remove dirt that is wedged in between the deck boards.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\">After giving the deck a once over with the garden hose, grab a pale, broom and brush, along with a commercial deck cleaning solution, and scrub the surface of the deck. When cleaning a deck it is best to start in one corner of the deck, preferably near the house, and work your way to the other side of the deck. Working in an organized fashion insures you don\u2019t miss any spots.<\/p>\n<p>Periodically turn the garden hose on your work to wash away the dirt you have scraped off the deck surface.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"47%\">\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5300\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/deck_sanding.jpg\" alt=\"Proper deck cleaning and maintenance will ensure your deck last for years to come.\" width=\"272\" height=\"204\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Finally, after scrubbing the entire deck use your garden hose again to completely rinse down and clean the deck surface.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cleaning Decks with Pressure Washers Caution<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Note, if you decide to use a pressure washer to clean your deck make sure to use the lowest pressure nozzle and keep the nozzle at least 2 to 3 feet away from the deck surface when using it. A pressure washer can easily damage the grain of your deck wood if not used properly.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><strong>Selecting a Deck Cleaning Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When selecting a commercial deck cleaning solution select one that will not bleach out the deck boards nor cause the deck hardware (screws and\/or nails) to corrode.<\/p>\n<p>Also look for deck cleaner solutions that will remove algae and mold if you observe dark black or green areas on your deck.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Deck Maintenance after Cleaning a Deck<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After a thorough deck cleaning, inspect the deck for any other deck maintenance issues. Again, look for damaged or loose deck boards, deck paint or sealer peeling, sap bleeding knots, and popped nails.<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/deck-installation-bid-sheet\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5278\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Deck_Installation_Bid_Sheet_Cover_Page_Rev1_1-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Deck Installation Bid Sheet\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Deck_Installation_Bid_Sheet_Cover_Page_Rev1_1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Deck_Installation_Bid_Sheet_Cover_Page_Rev1_1.jpg 384w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Replace any damaged deck boards that you may have additionally discovered during the deck cleaning process.
