Importance of cleaning your composite deck

Whether your composite deck is old or brand new, it will eventually need a little maintenance. One way to keep it looking good is by cleaning the deck on a regular basis. A deck that is not cleaned properly can become home to bugs and mold. It can also accumulate a lot of debris. To keep your composite deck clean, make sure that you have it soft washed regularly.  This will help prevent mold and mildew from taking hold.

How to clean a composite deck.

One of the best ways to clean your composite deck is to soft wash. It is best to use a low pressure spray nozzle and biodegradable soaps.   This will also prevent accidental marking on your deck.  After you rinse down the deck you then need to apply the biodegradable soaps at a low pressure and allow them to dwell for the appropriate amount of time.  Dwell time depends on the type of material the composite deck is made of and the amount of biofilm that is present.

How often should you clean your composite deck?

To keep your deck looking like new, you should clean it at least once a year.  Once a year will help keep your deck in tip top shape aesthetically. 

The benefits of cleaning your composite deck are many. It can help prevent mold from taking hold, keep your deck looking new, and provide a safe surface for you to enjoy. A deck that is cleaned regularly will last a lot longer than one that is not.  If you are looking to have your deck power washed contact House Wash Pa at 484-881-2713.
