Outdoor living is about your backyard becoming a place where you, your family, and your friends spend quality time together. Wooden structures in your outdoor living area include wooden privacy fencing, a wooden deck and sometimes high-value teak patio furniture. Caring for this area is essential to keep it the center of happy days and memories.

Signs it might be time for some TLC include dark streaks on the wooden deck, grey and dingy outdoor furniture, and bright green moss growing on the bottom of your wooden privacy fence.

Cleaning Plus Restoring Wood

Cleaning Wood

The first step is removing loose dirt, algae and debris with a pressure washer. We use a pressure washer with a lower-pressure setting to avoid removing too much pulp. During this first power wash, we use an algaecide and detergents to kill the algae and mold so it doesn't come back as soon.

Restoring Decks and Fences

The second step is optional, but if you want to make the wood look new, The Grime Guyz have a special brightening agent that is left on for a while to brighten the damage done by sun and staining from moss, mold and dirt. After we rinse it off, the wood looks like new.

Why Regular Deck Cleaning Matters

• Prevents rot — Removing moisture-trapping debris extends the life of your wood
• Removes slippery surfaces — Algae and moss make decks dangerously slippery
• Prepares for staining — Clean wood absorbs stain evenly for better protection
• Maintains appearance — Regular cleaning keeps your outdoor space looking inviting
• Saves money — Maintenance is far cheaper than replacing boards
