There are many deck wash and exterior cleaning
products available at retail stores. It is important
to make sure you use a cleaner specifically
intended for your application. After selecting
a product, be certain to read, understand
and follow all instructions supplied by the
manufacturer. Some cleaning products and
inhibitors may be more effective than others,
depending on the environmental conditions
your deck is subjected to. Additionally, it is
always a good idea to test the cleaner in a small,
inconspicuous area prior to applying it to the
entire deck.
Mold Inhibitors
As with deck washes, there are several mold-
inhibitor products available from paint stores,
hardware stores, online outlets and home
centers to help prevent long-term mold/mildew
growth. For any product selected, be certain
to read, understand and follow all instructions
provided by the manufacturer. Depending upon
the environmental factors affecting your deck,
some preventive cleaning products may be
more effective than others. It may be necessary
to try more than one. For ongoing preventive
maintenance, follow the manufacturer’s
recommendation.
Note: Deckorators is not suitable for structural
use. It should not be used for primary load-bearing
members such as posts, joists, beams or stringers.
The same common-sense precautions should
be taken when handling Deckorators as with
wood or other building materials. Dust masks
and eye protection devices are recommended
to avoid possible irritation from sawdust and
chips. Gloves will help protect hands. Hands
should be washed after construction work.
