Decking Cleaning in Knocknacarra
Timber decking in this climate goes slick long before it goes shabby. The green film on shaded boards is algae, and once it is wet it is genuinely dangerous underfoot. Decking needs a gentler wash than paving — too much pressure raises the grain and leaves the board rougher than it started — so it is treated first, washed at low pressure, and left to dry before any oil goes on.

Decking Cleaning in Knocknacarra - FAQ
Why not just pressure wash it hard?
High pressure tears the soft grain out of timber and leaves a furry surface that holds water and goes green faster. The wash is deliberately gentle; the chemical treatment does the work.
Should the deck be oiled afterwards?
On timber, yes — bare boards weather quickly here. It has to go on dry wood, so allow a few dry days between the wash and the oil.
Does composite decking need cleaning too?
It does. Composite resists rot, but algae still grows on the surface and it gets just as slippery.
