Cleaning Wooden Deck
 
I have a large covered deck that I stained a month ago.
Unfortunately, due to unavoidable repairs on the other part of the
house, a large amount of mud was tracked onto the deck. Could someone
tell me the best way to clean up the deck, which now has a good amount
of dirt tracked on to it. I tried a regular hose with a sprayer, and
it didn't do much good. I have heard that strong pressure sprayers
could be counterproductive. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

JD

A pressure washer can easily "etch" the wood.

Use a carwash brush fitted with a soap dispenser, garden hose, any
dishwashing or laundry liquid. Go easy on the soap!

Low suds detergent and a deck brush will work quite nicely.
