Composite Deck Cleaning Park City, IL

Composite deck cleaning for Park City homes

Park City has a small city of 1960s-to-1980s ranches near Waukegan, and that shapes how we approach composite deck cleaning here. In practice that means small pergolas and screens.

Park City is in central Lake County. The established trees that make the yards nice also keep decks and fences shaded, and shaded wood needs a thorough chemical clean before it will take stain evenly.

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.
