Deck Cleaning

In many climates outside decks take a beating over the winter months, and in any climate, they need to be cleaned at least once per season to get rid of dirt, leaves, mildew, debris, etc. Here are some products to help you get your deck ready for the season.


ADP-Deck Wash is an oxygen based cleaner that is safe for the environment, pets and
people. You can order this cleaner in 2, 5, and 20 gallon containers. It can be safely stored and used for many years. www.americandeckproducts.com/




Pressure washers are possibly the best way to thoroughly clean your deck. Deck restoration contractors recommend using cold water pressure washers on wood decks, as hot water can adversely affect the grain of the wood. There are many relatively inexpensive electric power washers on the market, including this Briggs & Stratton model.
