Cleaning Decks with Laundry Detergent

Is your wood deck looking winter worn? Laundry detergent can be used for more than just colors or whites. Here is a great outdoor use for your laundry detergent. As the weather gets warmer, you may want to clean all traces of winter from your wood deck. Powdered laundry detergent and hot water is usually enough to spruce up your winter worn deck. This mixture acts as an abrasive and a cleanser. To eliminate mildew from your wood deck, use a 10 percent bleach solution. Use a power washer for extra cleaning power, and finish with a thorough rinse for a bright summer deck.

  2. Aside from making your deck look great after winter, cleaning the deck would also prevent the wood from deteriorating fast. Just to be clear, make sure that you use mix powdered non-chlorine bleach, so that the wood will not be whitened after you scrubbed it.

  3. Choose and use your cleaning products properly. Don’t let the detergent to dry up on your deck. Scrub it properly to make sure that no debris is left on it. Also, if you’re planning to give your deck long term treatments, hire professionals or study the process before doing anything.
