Regular maintenance on a wood deck includes an annual exfoliation to remove old wood cells that give a dark look to the wood surface. Removing old wood cells with a thorough wash will allow cleaner cells to show through and permit wood sealers to penetrate deeper into the wood.
A good cleaning and a protective coat of stain will not only make your deck look new again, it will also extend the life of your deck.
