Cleaning the Deck

Pressure-wash your deck with a tip that produces a spray about the width of a 2x4, with medium pressure. The trick is to keep the spray moving. Don't rest in one spot for too long or it could permanently damage the surface.
Then apply a wood preservative to help prevent water damage and discoloration.
