Deck Maintenance
Decks should be maintained every 2 years. That's all the semi-transparent and clear stains hold up for from UV light and weathering. If a deck has been sitting untouched for over 5 years, never mind 10 years, of course it's going to take some pressure to remove years of mildew and weathering. If you have the time and energy to hand apply chemicals and then manually scrub every floor board and railing great. No thanks, I'll powerwash. A deck that's been maintained correctly every 2 years will not require an aggressive powerwash, nor will the wood look like the earlier post.
