Wood Deck Cleaning - Pressure Wash Deck Sydney the Right Way
Perhaps the most
dramatic effect of cleaning a deck with a power washer is on a wood deck. Whether
you want to remove dirt or other debris, or prepare the deck for a new finish,
a pressure washer is the perfect tool for the job.
First, remove all your
furniture so you can clean the entire area. For this job, attach the 25 degree
nozzle to your pressure washer and go ahead and spray away any loose leaves or
dirt.
Next up, we recommend
applying a detergent for the best and quickest cleaning results.
Note: First test the detergent on an inconspicuous area of your deck.
To apply the detergent
to the deck, attach the black detergent nozzle to the pressure washer, and fill
the detergent tank with an environmentally friendly detergent liquid. Then
apply the detergent to the deck surface and allow it to soak for 3-5 minutes.
The detergent will break
down any oil or surface film for more effective cleaning.
One thing to keep in
mind, don't allow the detergent to dry. If you're working in the sun, keep
wetting the surface until the detergent has had time to work its magic.
Once it’s done,
reattached the 25 degree nozzle. Continue cleaning in a side to side sweeping
motion. Keep the nozzle moving constantly and at a consistent distance from the
deck to get an even clean and so that you do not scratch your deck surface.
Once you've completed
cleaning the deck, go ahead and give it one more spray to rid of loose
detergent or dirt. With the hard work done, you can sit and relax and let the
deck dry for 24 hrs before staining or sealing.
Injury Notice: Pressure
washing a deck often forces the user to maintain an awkward back angle. Make
sure to wear a brace or take breaks often to avoid a strained back. This will
only make cleaning your deck and bad experience.
There are professional Pressure Wash Deck Sydney services or
deck restoration services at reasonable rates in your area. If you're brand new
to this, the time it takes you may be worth hiring someone else.
Another option still is
to never have to pressure wash again. With the new deck
materials that are out there, new decks come with lifetime
warranties against any scratches, fading, or stain. They range from Trex Decks,
TimberTech Decks, Gossen Decking, Fiberon Decking, and a whole host of others.
