Hi.

We have a lot of decking round this house. The previous owners had
lots of pots all over it and of course they've taken all their pots
with them. Where the pots stood, there are now light circles. The
decking that wasn't covered has darkened.

One solution would be to go round putting pots in every position where
they were previously, but we would rather not enter the world of
pot-maintenance and pot-watering! So I am wondering if bleaching all
the decking might create a unifying effect? Would a bleach solution
lighten the wood that was not "protected" by the pots? On the other
hand, maybe a bleach solution might do more than lighten the wood - it
might damage it.

I've used bleach to clean my deck a few times. Bottle of Tesco's own label
in a bucket of water. Works a treat.

Probably a mixture of sunlight & dirt, so a good cleaning with bleach will
even it out.
