Sunday morning, again, weather here in medway looks good at the moment, preparing some garden quotes as usual. There is a new way of treating your deck if its got a bit weathered. I have said this before in an earlier blog but I thought I might post it again. Before you go rushing to the local DIY store to buy the deck cleaner give this a try. Pour one gallon of clean water into a clean bucket, add one eighth of a gallon of household bleach, the cheap one is fine, then add one quarter of a cup full of washing up liquid again the cheap one is fine, and mix together. The bleach will clean the boards and the washing up liqiud will tackle the dirt. This is the hard bit, use a scrubbing brush or a hard broom, the brush is better, and firmly scrub the boards to remove the dirt. Its only once every two to three years so no hardship. Wash off with clean water every fourth board to stop it drying out. If you do allow the boards to dry before the washing off then you might have to scrub them lightly again as the dirt will solidify on top. See you all soon!! |
