Does your wood deck or fence need a little facelift? Dirt and grime build up on wood surfaces quickly which detract from it’s appearance. UV from the sun, along with rain, snow, and spills, are all damaging to a wood surface, and eventually wear it down. Left to the elements untreated, your wood will have a dull grayed out appearance. To restore and enhance the surface, the proper cleaning and sealing techniques must take place.
Power washing sprays your deck with a high pressure blast of water. If not washed carefully, maintaining a proper and safe distance from the nozzle to the deck, it can actually damage your wood surface. The water pressure is so great that it can disrupt the appearance of the wood grain, and also create gouges in the wood that will look unsightly. While high pressure easily gouges and tears through common exterior woods such as cedar and green treated pine, Soft Washing these surfaces with the proper solutions is the only recommended course of action.
With soft washing we’re using a biodegradable solution, that is eco-friendly, and very effective at breaking down the dirt, grime and other organic matter. Once we’ve allowed the cleaning agents to do their work, we gently rinse them away. We’re very careful when taking on wood soft washing projects so you’re left with a beautifully cleaned surface, free of damage.
After the wood surfaces have been cleaned, and are fully dried, it’s important to keep them protected with a paint, stain, or sealer. At TriClean, we have the knowledge to help guide you through the numerous products out there and apply the right finish for your specific situation.
