Cleaning your deck is a process that should be repeated every few weeks to ensure that your deck remains in optimal condition.
Here are a few tips from Maryland’s Freedom Fence and Home in regards to spring cleaning-up your deck:
- Remove any furniture – Cleaning all of the furniture, grills and any other junk that is on your deck should be your top priority. You can’t properly clean your deck if you’re trying to clean around a bunch of stuff that is on top of it! You’ve got to have a blank slate upon which your true deck cleaning may begin.
- Wash your deck off – When preparing to wash your deck, don’t go for the sponge and bucket. Instead, choose a cleaning brush with a long handle and a squeegee to help you get your deck as clean as it could be. Make sure, however, that you have the right cleaning products for the wood of you deck. Cleaning products that will restore your deck to its former glory.
- Restain your deck – You don’t have to restain your deck if you want to leave it in a raw state, but deck staining can usually blend with any wear and tear that happens to your deck. You can use transparent stains to show off the natural color of the deck or solid stains to protect against harmful UV rays produced by the Sun.
- Clean your deck furniture – Before you put all of the furniture back on your Maryland deck, give all of the furniture a good scrubbing down. Rinse and wipe down the furniture and apply a little laundry detergent and water to any outside cushions that may need cleaning. A clean deck wouldn’t look right without some clean deck furniture.
