My deck is 10 years old. Standard pressure treated 5/4 pine. Has been stained twice using Penofin. I am happy with the penofin, but the deck is needing a good cleaning and restaining. I have a power washer, and I would like to use a cleaner that will not harm the vinyl siding and the plants around the deck.
I have read the do's and don'ts of using a power washer, just wanting to know what type of cleaning agent to use. I have a little moss, maybe 5% of the total deck has a little moss. Otherwise, just plain old atmospheric dirt.
Oxiclean in solution with some simple green? Specialized deck cleaner? What works and what don't?
How long to dry after cleaning before staining again? Thanks, KD
