Routine cleaning will expand the life of your deck. After the winter, there is the possibility trapped dirt and debris have taken hold between the gaps on the decking. Spring time means lots of blooming flowers, fruits, and leaves. Nature is bustling, and frankly, it doesn’t care if it gets your deck messy or not. This is where you come in. Keeping your deck clear of any foreign debris is crucial. When organic elements sit on you deck, it becomes a breeding ground for mold and mildew. The mold and mildew can wreak havoc on your decking by slipping into any crevice it can find. These trapped elements can make it easier for any material to decay. It’s crucial to keep your deck clean as you possibly can.

Since changes to your deck’s appearance happen slowly, it’s difficult to notice when it’s time to clean or refinish. Creating a calendar can help you keep track of scheduled maintenance. Not only does routine deck cleaning save your deck from becoming a snack for your uninvited guests, but it keeps your deck looking fresh, all with just a few sweeps of a broom.
