How to Protect Your Fence and Deck with Professional Cleaning
🪵 Protecting Your Fence & Deck: Cleaning Tips for Longer Life
Your fence and deck are constantly exposed to sun, rain, snow, and organic buildup. Over time, this exposure can cause discoloration, warping, rot, and mold growth—shortening the lifespan of your outdoor investment.
At Exterior Washed, we specialize in deck and fence cleaning that not only makes your wood or composite surfaces look new again—but also helps protect them for the long haul.
🔍 Why Your Deck and Fence Need Regular Cleaning
Even high-quality materials degrade when they’re not maintained. Dirt, algae, mold, and mildew don’t just look bad—they weaken the integrity of the wood and accelerate decay.
Here’s what regular cleaning prevents:
- Rot and wood softening
- Splintering and cracking
- Discoloration and fading
- Mildew and slippery surfaces
- Pest nesting (especially in damp wood)
🧽 Our Cleaning Method: Gentle, Effective & Safe
We use a low-pressure soft wash system to remove:
- Algae, moss, and mildew
- UV damage and gray wood tones
- Dirt and organic stains
This gentle method avoids high-pressure damage that can splinter wood or strip protective coatings.
We clean:
- Wood decks
- Composite decking
- Vinyl and wood fences
- Privacy screens and railings
🧠 Expert Tip from Exterior Washed
“If your deck or fence is turning gray or green, it’s time to clean. Regular maintenance not only restores the color—it adds years of life.”
🌤️ When to Clean Your Fence or Deck
Best times for a professional cleaning:
- Spring: Prep for BBQs, patio lounging, and outdoor fun.
- Fall: Remove summer buildup before winter hits.
- Before staining or sealing
- After rain-heavy seasons or mold outbreaks
🎨 Thinking About Staining or Sealing?
Cleaning is step one.
Staining or sealing a dirty surface traps moisture and bacteria—leading to faster decay. Our cleaning preps the wood for maximum absorption and longer-lasting results.
We can coordinate with your staining professional or advise on next steps after cleaning.
