Wash Deck

Remove organic growth, grime, and debris from your outdoor living space to preserve wood or composite materials and prepare the surface for sealing.

Pro Tips
Test cleaners in a small area to ensure they don't damage the decking material.
Choose a day with no rain and mild temperatures for resealing to ensure the best results.
When using a pressure washer, use a low setting to prevent wood damage.
