How to Clean Your Deck for Spring and Summer


Winter is now well behind us, and that means custom decks throughout Winston Salem are getting ready for the warm spring and summer months. So what are a few things you can do to get yours ready for entertaining and relaxing? The pros at Paradise Decking have a few tips.



The first thing you should do is sweep your deck. Custom decks that get swept regularly continue to look great through the years. Taking the time to do some sweeping can get rid of leaves, twigs and other dirt and debris that accumulate during the cold winter months.



You should then hose down or power wash your deck. Not all custom decks should be power washed, so be sure to check with your custom decks installation company before you power wash. If it is not safe to do so or if you are not sure, then just use your hose to rinse your deck off. Custom decks that get rinsed off also tend to keep their looks longer than ones that do not get this kind of cleaning.



You should also take out your deck furniture and make sure every piece is fully cleaned and dried before you put them out for use. Make sure all cushions and clothed pieces are also fully washed and dried before use. This makes your deck more inviting to family members and other loved ones who want to come out and socialize and relax.



Finally, it's time to accessorize! Put out some spring and summer themed items. This makes custom decks even more welcoming and inviting for you and your guests. You can even put out a bird feeder or hummingbird feeder to bring nature to you and to get even more enjoyment out of the great outdoors!
