What to Look For in a Decorah Professional Deck Cleaner?

All decks are exposed to the ravages of the harsh external environment and they have to be maintained accordingly. From harmful UV radiation to bird droppings, to grit and grime, to scruffy boot prints, your deck has to bear it all; day in and day out. Add to that the relentless attacks from organic pollutants such as mold, lichen, algae, and fungus. 

This is why your deck might end up in poor shape after prolonged use. However, there is no need to change or replace your deck. Professional deck cleaners will clean, restore and seal the natural beauty of your deck and thereby extend its service life. 

Beware of Amateurs!

Not every deck cleaning service is the same. Many unreliable operators will simply spray your deck with very powerful jets of pressured water and declare it clean. 

Unfortunately, this can cause a whole lot more harm than good. For one thing, wood and even composite decks have their own protective layers that give them their shine and protect it from the elements. Powerful bleaching agents and detergents will scour away this protective layer and lead to water logging issues. 

And of course, the more moisture in your deck – the more susceptible it is to algae, fungus, and mold infestations. Finally, such high pressure can also lead to permanent watermarks that cannot be removed. 

In a nutshell, untrained operators can ruin your deck altogether. However, the real professionals will know just what to do to restore your deck to its original pristine grandeur, and increase its service life too. 

Real Professionals Will Soft Clean Your Deck 

Instead of using very high pressure, they will allow their mild yet powerful detergents to soak into the very foundations of your deck. They will also use environmentally-friendly herbicides to effectively eliminate all the organic pollutants. 

They Will ‘Seal in’ the Shine of Your Deck

Once the cleaning process is complete, they will wait till the deck is completely dry before using high-quality sealers to lock in the shine, and ensure that it is largely impervious to the external elements.

Only then will they apply our top-quality sealers to enhance the beauty of your deck and restore it to all its former glory.
