Composite deck cleaning for Tower Lakes homes

Composite deck cleaning in Tower Lakes starts with knowing the housing: a small private-lake village of older and newer homes. We see a lot of docks and shore decks, and the work is planned around it.

Tower Lakes sits on Tower Lake, and waterfront wood weathers faster on the water-facing side than the house side. We check both and often give the exposed side a second coat.

We clean composite and PVC decks across Lake County with manufacturer-appropriate cleaners and low pressure. The goal is to get the deck back to its original color without leaving wand marks, which are permanent on capped composite.

How the job goes in Tower Lakes

  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.

Tower Lakes composite deck cleaning FAQ

Can composite decks be pressure washed?

Only at low pressure with a wide tip. Manufacturers generally cap it around 1,500 PSI held a foot or more away. Higher than that, or a narrow tip, will scar the surface.

What are the black spots on my composite deck?

Almost always mildew growing in the surface texture, fed by pollen and moisture. A composite-safe cleaner removes it. Bleach alone will lighten it and leave it to come back.

How far in advance should I book composite deck cleaning in Tower Lakes?

Two to four weeks in spring and early fall, which are the busiest windows. Midsummer usually has more availability. Text photos and your town and we will give you a date with the quote.

No. Tower Lakes is inside Lake County, and we cover the whole county from Libertyville with no trip charge.
