Pressure Washing for a Clean Deck
There’s nothing more satisfying than washing away winter to reveal a fresh, clean deck. The easiest way to rid a deck of weathering, mold or mildew is a good pressure washing. The Home Depot offers a variety of pressure washer rentals in different sizes and strengths to tackle surface cleaning.
- Electric pressure washers are ideal for light-duty projects
- Gas pressure washers are great for deck restoration and surface prep.
You can incorporate a deck wash into your cleaning routine to further restore the look of a clean deck. Once pressure washed, a clean deck can be sealed, stained or painted to further protect it from the elements. If you’re opting for a paint job, consider a medium-duty paint sprayer to get the job done quick.
Other Uses for Pressure Washer Rentals
A pressure washer rental is one of the most useful outdoor cleaning tools. But it can do more than get you a clean deck. Consider using it for other wood or vinyl surfaces around your home. These may include:
- Fences
- Gazebos and pergolas
- Raised garden beds
- Picnic tables and patio furniture
- Exterior walls and siding
Clean Large Surface Areas
Besides restoring wood to its bright, natural color, a pressure washer rental can help you create a clean patio, walkway, driveway and garage. This is also the time to blast away winter salt, oil stains and natural growth and debris from concrete surfaces.
If you’re already renting a pressure washer, consider adding the driveway and surface attachment to your list. It connects easily to pressure washers. This attachment is also great for cleaning large surface areas, like driveways, sidewalks and patios. You can stock up on paving cleaner and other solutions from The Home Depot’s one-stop shop.
Tip: Using vinegar to remove oil stains from brick pavers is a great hack if you’re dealing with pesky stains on these areas.
