TrueDecks vs Power Washing

When making a sizable investment, it only makes sense to preserve it and keep it as long-lasting as possible. So why should your deck be any different? By routinely cleaning the wood of your deck, you can help ensure the wood stays healthy and large repairs will not be as frequent. But while cleaning the deck is important, using the correct tools is equally or more important.

Power washing is a common suggestion for cleaning your deck, but what most don’t realize is that it can be extremely damaging to the wood and the overall life span of the deck. With TrueDecks, we have created a PressureLess Cleaning & Preservation System that is gentle on wood, while still getting the job done. If you are located in the Reston, VA or Frederick, MD area, take a look at how TrueDecks cleaning system compares to power washing your deck!
