- Preparation: Before cleaning your wood deck and furniture, it’s essential to prepare the surface properly:
- Remove any debris, such as leaves, dirt, and twigs, using a broom or leaf blower.
- Check for any loose or damaged boards and replace or repair them as needed.
- Sand rough spots and splinters with sandpaper to create a smooth surface for cleaning.
- Cover nearby plants, shrubs, and other sensitive areas to protect them from cleaning solutions.
- Cleaning: Once your wood deck and furniture are prepped, it’s time to clean them thoroughly:
- Choose a high-quality wood deck cleaner, such as Loba Home’s eco-friendly option, specifically formulated for your type of wood.
- Dilute the cleaner according to the manufacturer’s instructions and apply it to the surface using a brush or sprayer.
- Allow the cleaner to penetrate the wood for the recommended amount of time, typically 10-15 minutes.
- Scrub the surface with a stiff-bristled brush to remove dirt, grime, and mildew stains.
- Rinse the wood thoroughly with water to remove any residue from the cleaner.
- Allow the wood to dry completely before applying any sealants or finishes.
- Maintenance: To keep your wood deck and furniture looking great for years to come, follow these maintenance tips:
- Apply a protective finish, such as Loba Home’s deck sealer, to protect the wood from UV rays, moisture, and mildew.
- Sweep or hose down your deck regularly to remove debris and prevent buildup.
- Inspect the wood for signs of damage or wear, such as cracks, rot, or warping, and address any issues promptly.
- Consider applying a fresh coat of sealant every 1-3 years to maintain optimal protection and appearance.
- Avoid placing hot items directly on the wood surface, and use coasters or mats to protect against scratches and stains.
