Wood dries and soon we will apply a clear water-sealant. I wish the picture
was a better one. At the end of the day, most was shaded and I could not take a picture that showed off how clean each board looks.

If you have never used a colored stain on your wood deck, the cleaning is a more simple one. If there has been a stain on the deck in the past, you cannot clean with my simple solution of bleach and laundry detergent. All sinple sealants that are clear are easy to clean by using bleach to kill mold and mildew growth. Mixture is put on first, let to set for ten minutes, then an intensive washing is given by using pressure wash tip over every square inch of the deck "with the grain". Another spray of the bleach and soap chemical bath is left on deck to encourage it to brighten up and look fresh. That is washed off of the deck and a day later, clear or tinted sealant or stain is applied.
