Thank you for choosing Clean Wash for your Deck Coating!

• Please allow a minimum of 24 hours for the coating to dry before walking on or replacing furniture.
• If placing potted plants on the deck, we recommend using stand-offs. The pot or planter can bleed dark stains deep into the wood where it sits.
• If you have a grill on your deck we recommend you place a grill mat underneath.
• Sweep fallen leaves or debris off to not promote mold and mildew problems. (Gaps between boards must be free from dirt, debris and twigs; allowing water to drain freely and air to flow around.)
• Sweep standing water from deck boards where water may puddle.
• If removing snow use a (plastic snow shovel) and shovel along the boards lengthwise. Metal shovels will damage the wood. Avoid using salt or ice melt chemicals, they may leave residue and could discolor or damage coatings.

Feel good knowing that properly maintaining your deck helps the environment. Each year about 3 million new decks are built in the United States. Every year an additional 3 million decks are replaced or repaired due largely to poor maintenance. If all decks in the U.S. were cared for properly, it would save over 6 million trees from being cut in a ten year span.

You can expect our coatings to provide ample protection for an average of 2 years on horizontal surfaces (floor) and up to 5 years on verticals (pickets) in most areas. Excessive foot traffic, animal claws and direct sunlight can promote pre-mature wear. We do recommend an annual deck wash to prevent mold and mildew growth, re-coating the horizontal surfaces every 2 years and a full re-coat at 4 years. We would be pleased to perform this service for you.
