How to Remove Moss and Other Debris From Decks With Riptide Pressure Washing

Wilmington, NC - Decks, in most cases, are welcoming and relaxing places to spend free time. Many people look forward to clocking out of work, returning home, and using their deck as a place where they can read a book, enjoy a meal, or socialize with friends. However, there is always the possibility that invaders can spoil the sanctity of a deck. We are referring to moss and other forms of surface debris that detract from the deck's visual appeal. How can you effectively get rid of these unwanted substances? The best way is through the deck pressure washing [https://www.riptide-wash.com/deck-cleaning-company-in-wilmington-nc/] process. Riptide Pressure Washing, [https://www.riptide-wash.com/] a local pressure cleaning business, does this work on a daily basis and has shared information about the process with us below.

Removing Items From Deck

Before pressure washing a deck, it is important that any items are moved out of the way. The reasons for this are similar to why you would move a rug while vacuuming a hardwood floor. The items on a deck can block its surface from being cleaned. Additionally, it can be damaging to these items if they are sprayed with pressurized water.

Removing these items should not be difficult. In many cases, they can simply be moved to the yard for a temporary amount of time. In the case of heavy items, such as deck furniture and barbecue grills, you may struggle to lift them alone. Do not hesitate to ask for help from a friend or family member when necessary. It can prevent strain and/or injury.

Using Treatment Chemicals to Kill Moss

Before advancing into the pressure washing stage of the work, consider using treatment chemicals to kill moss ahead of time. One such example of these treatment chemicals is sodium hypochlorite. This substance is fast-acting and can kill moss in a matter of minutes. Consider also oxygen bleach, a less fast-acting but potentially safer alternative. Oxygen bleach can kill moss and potentially prove to be gentler on the deck itself.

By killing moss ahead of time with treatment chemicals, it will be easier to remove. Additionally, the likelihood of it reproducing and reemerging in the weeks following deck pressure washing is reduced. Chemical treatment can additionally weaken other forms of debris such as dirt, mud, and other stubborn stains.

Cleaning the Deck Via Pressure Washing

With all previous steps completed, the stage has been set for pressure washing. Using an appropriate amount of water pressure, spray the deck in a grid-like fashion to ensure the total cleanliness of the structure. (For example, softwood decks should be pressure washed with 500-600 PSI; hardwood decks should be pressure washed with 1200-1500 PSI.) When deck pressure washing is finished, the deck will be distinctly brighter, making it a much more relaxing setting for those evening rests and hangouts

Those who are intimidated or put off by the do-it-yourself deck cleaning process should consider reaching out to a professional pressure washing company. For instance, Riptide Pressure Washing would be happy to assist with this work, allowing property owners to avoid physical labor and frustration.
