Deck Cleaning & Power Washing Union Grove, WI

Deck cleaning for Union Grove homes

Deck cleaning in Union Grove starts with knowing the housing: a village of older homes, newer subdivisions and surrounding farmland. That means decks on village and acreage lots, which changes the prep more than the stain.

In Racine County, Wisconsin, where Union Grove sits, the variable is shade. Sunny decks gray and dry out; shaded ones stay green. We treat each side of the same deck accordingly.

Our deck cleaning is a wash, not a blast. We use a sodium percarbonate cleaner to lift the growth and oxidation, then a low-pressure rinse with a fan tip held well off the boards. A 3,000 PSI pressure washer with a narrow tip will cut grooves into cedar and leave fuzz on pine. That damage is permanent.

How the job goes in Union Grove

1. Cover and pre-wetPlants, siding and light fixtures around the deck get wetted or covered. We check for loose boards and popped nails before we start.
2. Apply the cleanerA percarbonate wood cleaner sits for 10 to 15 minutes and breaks down mildew, algae and the gray layer. Stubborn spots get a scrub brush.
3. Low-pressure rinseUnder 1,000 PSI with a wide fan tip, working with the grain. The rinse is only removing what the cleaner already loosened.
4. BrightenAn oxalic-acid brightener neutralizes the cleaner and restores the natural wood tone, especially on cedar and redwood.
