On Top Home Services makes sure that proper preparation steps are taken even when staining and sealing decks that have lost their finish.
- Inspect and repair: Start by checking your deck for any are any boards that are damaged, screws that are loose, or nails that have stood up. Before going on, replace or repair these little things.
- Clear and sweep: Take off the deck surface all the furniture, plants, and trash. Thoroughly sweeping and using a leaf blower for finer particles can make your deck surface perfectly clean.
- Clean the deck: A deck cleaner of good quality will surely remove the dirt, mildew, and old stain from the deck. If you like, you can just put an industrial cleaner, or make your own with water, oxygen bleach, borax, and dish soap.
- Pressure wash (optional, but recommended): For an old deck or a stain that is hard to remove, a pressure washer usually works. Take a 45-degree tip set at 1200-1400 psi and go against the grain of the wood.
- Dry completely: Conduct a thorough drying of the deck after cleaning, which can take 1-2 days.
- Sand (if needed): Using an orbital sander and coordinating sandpaper of 60 or 80 grit, rub off any leftover product and make the surface, particularly if there are splinters, smooth and neat.
