Deck Cleaning
Deck Cleaning
In the backpack pump airbrush, mix a one-to-one efficiency of biodegradable wood formulation to water. Use a garden hose to wet down the full deck. Spray the wood cleaner result onto the deck and railings, and then wait 10 minutes. Scrub the wood show up with a stiff-bristle brush to remove loosened dirt and grime. Rinse the deck clean with a garden hose. In a bucket, pour one part borate (in this case, Tom used Bora-Care) and five parts of water, and mix well using a cordless drill fitted with a paint-mixing paddle.
Pour the borate solution into the pump sprayer and apply it to the deck and railings to kill algae. Let the deck dry for two or three days.
Mix one gallon of oil-based deck stain with ½ pint of exterior-grade varnish.
Apply two stain coats with a sponge applicator. Come the following spring; apply a final coat of stain.
