HOW TO CLEAN A DECK
Simple Green Oxy Solve Deck and Fence Cleaner is ideal for both manual and pressure washing your entire deck. This product easily lifts and powers away dirt, grease and sap from wood and composite surfaces.
An important note, if using a pressure washer, avoid using the maximum pressure setting, as too much force can damage the wood fibers. Spot test on a remote or hidden part of the deck to ensure appropriate pressure.
DIRECTIONS FOR CLEANING A DECK:
