Q2: How often should I clean my deck?

Q3: What tools do I need for deck cleaning?

Q4: Can I use a pressure washer to clean my deck?
A4: Yes, a pressure washer can be effective for deck cleaning, but use caution. Use a wide fan tip, maintain a safe distance to prevent damage, and avoid excessive pressure that can splinter wood.
Q5: How do I clean my deck without a pressure washer?

Q6: Can I use bleach to clean my deck?
