It’s not clean unless it’s Spotless
Today’s job took me to a property where the deck and surrounding pathway had certainly seen better days. The deck was heavily soiled with organic build-up, and the pathway that wrapped around the home was covered in mould, with green patches spreading steadily across the surface — a clear sign of prolonged neglect and moisture exposure.
To tackle the grime, I started by applying a sodium hypochlorite solution to both the deck and the walkway. This treatment works effectively to break down organic growth, and after about 10 minutes of dwell time, it was time to bring out the whirl-away surface cleaner.
The results were immediate and incredibly satisfying — layer after layer of grime lifted away, revealing the original surface beneath. The deck, though clearly weathered and long overdue for care, responded surprisingly well to the clean-up. Once the job was complete, both the deck and the pathway were visibly transformed: cleaner, brighter, and much safer to walk on.
