DIY deck cleaning with rental equipment often causes more harm than good. Consumer pressure washers can damage wood by creating gouges, splintering, or "fuzzing" the surface when used incorrectly. Different deck materials require specific pressure levels and techniques - too much pressure damages composite and vinyl, while too little pressure won't remove embedded stains. Professional equipment provides consistent, controlled pressure with the right attachments for safe, effective cleaning.

Household bleach can actually damage deck materials and harm surrounding landscaping. Bleach breaks down wood fibers, discolors composite materials, and creates toxic runoff that kills plants and grass. Scrubbing alone won't remove embedded dirt and mold from wood grain or textured surfaces. Professional cleaning solutions are specifically formulated for deck materials and are eco-friendly, while our equipment reaches deep into surfaces that manual scrubbing cannot.
