Decks are an outdoor oasis, but exposure to the elements causes dirt, mold, algae, and weathering that diminishes their beauty and integrity. Regular maintenance through soft washing and restoration not only rejuvenates your deck’s appearance but also protects its structure and extends its lifespan. Here’s a step-by-step guide to professional deck soft washing.

A Step-by-Step Process for Deck Soft Washing

  • Inspection and Assessment: Before beginning the deck soft washing process, we conduct a thorough inspection to find areas of concern, such as mold, mildew, algae, or structural damage. This step ensures the restoration meets your deck’s needs and prevents further deterioration.
  • Apply Eco-Friendly Cleaning Solution: We spray an environmentally safe cleaning solution onto the deck. This solution breaks down dirt, stains, mold, and algae at their roots. By killing these contaminants, soft washing not only cleans the surface but also prevents future growth.
  • Allow Time for the Solution to Work: We leave the cleaning solution on the surface for a set period, usually several minutes, depending on the level of grime. This allows it to deeply penetrate and loosen stubborn debris without requiring high pressure.
  • Rinse with Low-Pressure Water: Once the solution has done its job, we gently rinse the deck with low-pressure water. This step washes away dirt, grime, and cleaning residue while ensuring the wood stays undamaged. Soft washing uses pressure like a garden hose, making it safe for all types of decking materials.

Soft washing is ideal for keeping the beauty and longevity of your deck. By avoiding harsh pressure, soft washing protects the wood from splintering, cracking, and other damage, ensuring your deck stays strong and attractive for years.
