Hello to all,
I have a deck job coming up this weekend to perform. So I thought I would practice on my deck since it needed cleaning. Anyhow I read a lot of posts from this BB and decided to tackle it on last Sunday. The results as follows below:
I use my pw( commercial rk41 5 gpm 3000 psi) I use cold water and a 40 degree tip reduce to 1500 psi.
I used a bleach solution with a little dawn in it, let it dwell for 10 min and cleaned the deck.
I wash the deck from a distance of 4 inches and cleaned the boards with the grain of the wood.
After I let it dry and looked at it today. I see a lot of lighter spray patterns as if i held wand in the area to long or maybe to close. I sprayed half of the deck to do abefore and after pic for my pony show.
My Question is what can I do to clean the deck uniformily or did I use to much psi. Should I spray at 700- 800 psi.
I need advice by 6-24 before the job this weekend.
I would like to also know if I use simple green as my cleaner, would this be good enough to clean the deck satifactory, or should I go to HD or lowes and purchase a deck cleaner.?
