When you apply the following tips, your new deck is sure to have a long and beautiful life. Regularly clean your deck. It is important that deck washing is done properly. The first step is to remove all debris from the deck including debris between the deck boards. This can be easily done with a putty knife. Make sure all shrubs and other plants are protected. You can do this by covering them with light, plastic sheeting. Choose an appropriate cleaner for your deck. If you are unsure of what to use, contact your local deck experts and they can help you decide what to use to clean your deck without damaging or stripping it. If you plan to pressure wash your deck, it is crucial that you never use damaging pressures or harsh chemicals as this can damage your deck beyond repair. For added protection, you should have your deck properly sealed after it has been thoroughly cleaned. Inspect your deck on a regular basis and make necessary repairs as needed. Replace any missing nails or screws to ensure proper support. Check for signs of rot. Contact your local deck professionals as soon as you notice any rot so they can fix it before it turns into an even bigger problem. Make sure all railings are secure and free of cracks. How to Prevent Staining and Discoloration: Never let leaves and other debris pile up in the corners of your deck. Keep trees and bushes trimmed around your deck.
