How-To | Clean The Deck

Warmer days are the perfect opportunity to take the fun outside and fire up the grill, but it’s no surprise that your outdoor areas could use some tender love and care after weathering some brutal wintery messes. Read on to learn how to deep clean your decks so you are ready for summer entertaining.

Move upholstered furniture, grills and other miscellaneous outdoor equipment and spray your entire deck with water to loosen up the dirt and grime built up over the winter.

Pour 2 gallons of very warm to hot water in a bucket. Add 2 – 4 capfuls of our All-Purpose Bleach Alternative (depending on the size of your deck), and 1 – 2 capfuls of our highly concentrated All-Purpose Cleaning Concentrate. Mix the solution together until it is dissolved.

Using our Scrub Brush, work the solution into all necessary areas of the deck starting at one end and working your way to the other. Let the lather sit for a few minutes to give the solution time to set in.

Once the entire deck has been scrubbed down, rinse the deck with a hose or another source of water. Make sure the deck is completely dry before putting the furniture back in its place.
