Prepare the area

Preparing the surface properly before cleaning can make all the difference in getting an outstanding result. Sweep away any leaves, dirt or debris, and carefully inspect the deck for any signs of wear or damage that need to be addressed prior to cleaning. Check that the board joints are secure and make any necessary fixes ahead of time so they do not get missed during the cleaning process. It’s best to take care of these areas first so you can then properly clean your deck with confidence that it is ready for a great outcome.

Gather the necessary supplies

Whether you plan to tackle deck cleaning yourself or call in the professionals, having the necessary supplies is key. Make sure you have the appropriate cleaning solution, scrub brush, and protection for yourself and your surroundings. Deck cleaning is an important step toward maintaining a healthy and beautiful outdoor space, so make sure you have what you need when it’s time to get started.

Start scrubbing

Ready to start scrubbing your deck? Before you begin, make sure you have the necessary tools, such as a good quality hard-bristled brush or broom and a long-handled cleaning mop. Also, ensure you are wearing protective gear such as rubber gloves and goggles to keep yourself safe while working. Once the basics are in order, it’s time to get to work! Take your cleaning tool of choice and start scrubbing away at dirt, dust and grime, making sure to rinse the brush or broom regularly. Keep scrubbing until the entire deck is clean – then praise yourself for a job well done!

Rinse off the soap 

Once your deck is soaped up, give it a good rinse to make sure all the soap is gone. Depending on the size of your deck, you may need to apply cleaner in sections and separate with additional rinsing steps. Using a pressure washer or rotating spray nozzle can also speed up this process. Without taking the time to properly rinse off the soap, your deck can remain slippery – or worst yet, you may see streaks or filmy residue once your cleaning project is complete.

Let the deck dry 

After a thorough deck cleaning, it’s important to let your deck dry completely before proceeding with any other treatments. This will ensure the necessary preparation before reapplying sealants or staining agents, as they won’t effectively adhere to wet wood. Allowing adequate time will ensure a job features professional-looking results that can last long into the future. So, when it comes to completing a successful deck cleaning project, don’t forget to let everything dry!

Apply sealant

After cleaning your deck, it’s important to apply a sealant to protect it from the elements and keep it looking in top condition. Sealants can make all the difference when it comes to extending the life of your deck, so don’t skip this step! Always refer to manufacturer’s instructions before applying a sealant, as different types require different levels of preparation. And don’t forget to check for any repairs that may be needed before applying the sealant, as taking care of these first will ensure a longer life for your deck.

Cleaning a deck is no easy feat, but with the right preparation and supplies, it can be done easily and effectively. After following all of the steps listed above, you will have a beautiful, fresh-looking deck that not only looks great but is also protected from the elements. After investing the time to really take care of your deck, you will receive many years of maintenance-free beauty in return. Remember that clean decks provide much longer service than unkept or neglected ones so make sure to keep up on cleaning and sealing your deck for many wonderful summer days ahead.
