What maintenance does decking need?

Whether smooth faced, grooved or ribbed deck boards, timber or wpc, it is important that the deck surface is kept clean by regular brushing with a stiff bristle brush to remove dirt, algae and dead leaves which could make the deck slippery in the wet.

How often do you need to maintain a deck?

Part of deck care is giving a deck a good cleaning once a year. Consider scheduling it when temperatures are mild, such as in spring. Before cleaning, clear any deck furniture, toys and potted plants out of the way.

Why should I clean my deck?

One of the best ways to keep your deck looking perfect is to pressure wash it regularly. Power washing a deck removes built-up mold and mildew, refreshing its surface and helping prevent permanent damage and staining.
