Wood Cleaning

Comparison of clean and dirty wooden planks.

Cleaning wood can be done with the same process as soft-washing a house. Using a bleach based product can quickly give visible results to bring back a much lighter colour to the wood.

Wood Restoration

Wooden deck before and after cleaning and staining.

Bleach can of course cause damage to wood, so a restoration may be ideal for newer wood that you seek to protect. An oxygen-bleach is a safer alternative, and when paired with a post-treatment of a wood-brightener can provide your deck or fence with a stain-ready look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you clean grey decks?

Yes. The grey that occurs on your deck is a mix of oxidation and organic growth. Our process removes them both safely without damaging the wood.

Can you clean wood without damaging or 'furring' it?

Yes. Using pressure to clean wood is the cause of splintering or 'furring' of the wood. We rely on our cleaning agents to do most of the work. We rinse these with a lower pressure flow that cleans without damaging the wood.

How long should I wait to stain after my wood has been cleaned?

It would be best to wait 48-72 hours. An optional test would be to add a drop of your stain to the wood in a test area. If it beads the wood may still have moisture in it. If it soaks into the wood, it is likely dry and ready for coating. It is best to consult with a paint provider, or the instructions on the stain you've purchased.

How much does a deck cleaning cost?

It entirely depends on the size of the deck. Approximately 60% of the decks we do fall within the $400-$600 range.
