If you own a wooden deck, chances are you have tried many deck cleaning products. Not all of them are created equal. Without getting into the details of which products work the best and why, it is perhaps prudent to look into some of the hazards that come into play when you restore a deck. One should keep in mind the conditions surrounding the project. Are there plants and flowers under and around the deck? Is there a possibility of your deck cleaner running off into a stream, lake or pond? Prudence should be taken when choosing a cleaning product. Most strippers and many of the bleach based cleaners will harm vegetation. Fresh water supply should also be protected.

Using a sodium percarbonate based cleaner is the most environmentally friendly choice for cleaning wood. Surrounding plants and vegetation should be thoroughly wet down. Covering ultra delicate flowers with some light mil plastic can also add protection. If your run-off heads towards a fresh water supply, be sure to create berms or dams to divert flow. This runoff should be watered down with water from the garden hose and allowed to seep into the ground.
