Property value<\/h3>\n<p>A poorly maintained deck can diminish the value of a home, while a well-maintained deck enhances its outdoor appeal. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prostationnement.com\/en\/wood\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Regular wood cleaning and maintenance<\/a> is a sure way to keep your deck looking as good as new.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Health &amp; Safety<\/h3>\n<p>Exposure to the elements can promote the growth of mold, mildew and algae, which can pose a health and safety hazard. However, proper maintenance can make your terrace a safe place to relax and recharge.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Deck life<\/h3>\n<p>Proper deck maintenance can help extend the life of your deck and ensure that it serves you longer.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-108a3387 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"108a3387\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prostationnement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/protecteur-hydrofuge-bois-gallerie-1-1-768x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-11606\" alt=\"protecteur-hydrofuge-bois-gallerie-1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prostationnement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/protecteur-hydrofuge-bois-gallerie-1-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.prostationnement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/protecteur-hydrofuge-bois-gallerie-1-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.prostationnement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/protecteur-hydrofuge-bois-gallerie-1-1.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16ab0d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"16ab0d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Steps for cleaning a wood deck<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ea9da89 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7ea9da89\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Now that you know what to look for when maintaining your deck, here are the steps to keep it in good condition:<\/p>\n<h3>Step 1: Inspect and prepare the deck<\/h3>\n<p>Always be sure to inspect your deck every year or two to identify anything that needs repair. Also be on the lookout for protruding nails and loose boards, which could cause injury.<\/p>\n<p>Before cleaning or repairing, remove furniture and plants, then sweep debris from the deck. Make sure there are no children around when repairs are being carried out, as they could play with the tools and machinery and injure themselves as a result.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Clean the deck<\/h3>\n<p>The next step in deck maintenance is cleaning, where you use the necessary chemicals and solutions to remove debris and stains. First, use a powerful nozzle on a garden hose to remove debris clogging the gaps between deck boards. Once the board is clean and free of debris, use the necessary products to remove discoloration and stains.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note here that chlorine-free bleach products are more effective at removing stains, while bleach-based products help to eliminate mildew. Acid-based products are effective in eliminating graying and staining. If the deck appears dull after using a certain bleaching product, an acid-based restorer may be useful to restore the surface to its original condition.<\/p>\n<p>After waiting the time required (as specified in the instructions) for the products to take effect, rinse the deck using a pressurized water jet. Don&#8217;t forget that too much pressure can cause the wood grain to show through or even dig in.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Paint or stain the wood<\/h3>\n<p>To preserve the natural beauty of your wood deck, use a clear or lightly tinted varnish rather than deck paint.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you choose to paint, stain-blocking oils are preferable as they don&#8217;t create a surface film and tend to penetrate the wood. Solid stains or highly pigmented paint are not recommended for deck maintenance, as they flake easily.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Seal the deck<\/h3>\n<p>Sealing is the final stage of deck maintenance, where you apply the sealer of your choice using a brush or sprayer. When sealing, be sure to cover nearby plants to avoid damaging them.<\/p>\n<p>Also, opt for sealants with ultraviolet sun protection, as they will help protect your deck from direct sunlight.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
