Composite Deck Cleaning Bristol, WI

Composite deck cleaning for Bristol homes

Most of our composite deck cleaning calls in Bristol come from homes with a village of rural acreage, farmsteads and newer subdivisions. That means long perimeter and paddock fences, which changes the prep more than the stain.

Much of Bristol is in Kenosha County, Wisconsin, where mature trees are the main issue: shade keeps wood damp and grows mildew on the north side. Cleaning is not optional here, and we brighten after so the tone comes back.

Composite decks are the ones that get damaged most often by general pressure washing, because the surface looks tough. It is not. Capped composite has a thin outer layer and a narrow-tip wand will strip it in stripes. We use a soft-wash approach: cleaner, dwell, gentle agitation, low-pressure rinse. If your composite deck has black spots that will not come off with a hose, that is mildew in the surface and it needs the right cleaner, not more pressure.

How the job goes in Bristol

1. Identify the productCapped, uncapped or PVC, and which brand. It decides the cleaner and the pressure.
2. Clear and protectFurniture, rugs and planters come off. Rugs left on composite are the most common cause of shadow marks.
3. Apply cleanerA composite-safe cleaner with a sodium percarbonate base, or an oxalic-based one for tannin and rust stains.
4. Agitate and rinseSoft brush on problem spots, then a low-pressure fan rinse under 1,500 PSI, wand kept well off the surface.
