Protect Your Deck! November 9, 2011

Many of us in the northeast are now experiencing Mother Nature’s one last gift of an Indian summer before unleashing her wrath of winter. And as a result of these lingering warm days, many of the trees have only just now begun to shed their leaves.  It is very important to stay on top of leaf removal when it comes to your deck – especially if your deck is made of composite or PVC materials! Not only can wet, slippery leaves be dangerous to foot traffic, but the bright red, yellow, and orange pigments from the leaves can unfortunately stain your deck if you aren’t careful!

This is a good time to do a light power wash on your deck, to get rid of any dirt and grime before the heavy snow coats it for months to come, leaving behind even more sediment and other
For decks that have unfortunately succumbed to stains and other discolorations due to debris and weather, manufacturers like TimberTech recommend a product called Corte-Clean, to combat particularly difficult stains.
