Signs Your Deck Needs a Professional Clean (Before It Costs You More)
👉 Is your deck looking a little tired, slippery, or stained? It might be telling you something — and ignoring the signs could cost you big time.
🪵 1. The Wood Looks Grey or Faded
Sun, rain, and time wear down the natural colour of your deck. What starts as a gentle fade can turn into full-blown dry rot, especially in untreated timber.
Pro Tip: A professional soft wash can restore the colour and extend the life of your deck by years — without damaging the wood.
🧼 2. It’s Slippery When Wet
Algae and mould build up fast in shady or damp areas. If your deck gets slippery in winter or after rain, it’s not just annoying — it’s dangerous.
Slippery decks = liability. A proper clean removes biofilm and restores grip.
🦠 3. You See Green (or Black) Patches
That’s moss, mould, or mildew — and they’re not just surface-level. These organisms eat away at your timber, especially if moisture is trapped underneath.
DIY cleaning might make it look better temporarily, but it won’t kill the root cause. Professional treatments go deep and keep it cleaner longer.
🧹 4. You’ve Tried Cleaning It — and It Didn’t Help
Power washing might blast off some grime, but it can also gouge wood and leave your deck looking patchy or damaged.
That’s why we use low-pressure deck washing methods that clean thoroughly without stripping or splintering the timber.
💸 5. You’re Planning to Sell or Renovate
A dirty deck can drop curb appeal instantly. But a freshly cleaned one? It adds perceived value and makes your outdoor area look like new.
Spending a little on cleaning now could add thousands to your home’s sale price later.
