Benefits from Deck Beautification

Slowing the process of deck cracking and structural integrity loss are the two main benefits from a deck beautification process such as deck cleaning and oil stain application. CarltonCleans provides Maryland deck cleaning in the following areas Bethesda, Potomac, Chevy Chase, Rockville, Silver Spring, Gaithersburg and Germantown. We service other areas on a case by case basis so please call or fill out our online request an estimate form. We do not use high water pressure as a main method of cleaning and deck preparation for a Ready Seal, Armstrong Clark or Cabot stain application.

We use cleaning agents to soften the dirt, mold and algae for removal with deck bushes and low water pressure. This minimizes the damage to the soft spring wood fibers (fuzzy wood/frayed wood) but still meets the goal of deck beatification and protection. We only use high quality cleaner and stains and specialize in soaking the wood with stain to maximize the protect level.

For the client to get the most out of a deck cleaning beatification process it is important to allow the deck to soak the maximum amount of 100% oil stain with full penetration into the wood fibers. We do not recommend the use of acrylic or latex stains/paints from retail home improvement stores on any uncovered deck. These types of deck products are surface technology verses oil penetration and with the natural wood expansion and shrinking they tend to crack and peel defeating the purpose of beatifying and protecting your deck.
