How to Maintain a Wooden Deck? 🪵

[Trax]

Hi folks! I have a wooden deck that needs some TLC. What are the best tips and tricks for maintaining it? Should I be staining it every year? 🛠️

For a well-maintained wooden deck, regularly clean it with a gentle deck cleaner and avoid using harsh chemicals. 🧽💧 Reapply a protective sealant every 1-2 years to keep it looking fresh and durable. 🪚✨ Any favorite products or tips you use?

Deck lookin' kinda rough, huh? 🧹 Depends on the wood and where you live, but staining yearly might be overkill. Try cleaning it good first, see if it needs a deep clean or just a light scrub. Then, check for cracks or splinters. If it's looking faded, a fresh coat of stain or sealer can work wonders. But like, don't stress too much, just keep it clean and protected. 🪵✨

Clean Regularly: Sweep off leaves and debris to prevent mold and rot. You can also use a deck cleaner or a mix of water and mild soap to scrub it down a couple of times a year.
