Now that the weather has turned warm it is time to get your deck ready for barbeque season. To extend the life of your deck you will need to routinely clean it.
Before cleaning your deck, remove everything from the floor and sweep away all debris. Now to the cleaning, you can use a oxygen based cleaner, which is safe for the environment, pets and kids. Dissolve the cleaner into water and apply across your deck with a mop, handled brush or sprayer.
You will need to wait 10 minutes before you wash away with either a garden hose or pressure washer. If you use a pressure washer it is very important to set the dial to 1,500 pounds of pressure per square inch, any higher and you can risk damaging the wood.
