What a transformation. Decking washed, prepared and painted. After washing and oiling it every year the owners decided they want something new & different because even though it’s clean it actually looked old and tired so this year instead of oiling we painted it with slate colour paint and it looks amazing

Decking Washing

Decking washing involves cleaning and rejuvenating outdoor wooden decking to maintain its appearance and durability. The process typically includes removing dirt, mold, mildew, and stains using a pressure washer and specialized cleaning solution. Careful attention is given to avoid damaging the wood surface while effectively removing grime and debris. After washing, the deck is allowed to dry thoroughly before applying protective oil, paint or stain to enhance its longevity and resistance to weathering. Regular deck washing not only improves aesthetics but also preserves the integrity of the wood, ensuring a safe and inviting outdoor space for relaxation and entertainment.

How often should you wash your decking?

Decking should ideally be washed at least once a year to remove dirt, grime, and debris that accumulate over time. However, the frequency may vary depending on factors such as the climate, location, and amount of foot traffic. In areas with high humidity or frequent rain, more frequent washing may be necessary to prevent mold and mildew growth. Additionally, decks in heavily wooded areas or near bodies of water may require more frequent cleaning due to exposure to organic debris.

Oiling your decking area

Oiling decking helps maintain its natural beauty and prolong its lifespan by nourishing and protecting the wood from moisture, UV damage, and wear. The oil penetrates the wood, preventing cracking, splitting, and warping while enhancing its colour and texture. Regular oiling also makes the decking more resistant to stains and weathering, ensuring a durable and attractive outdoor living space.
