South Bay deck cleaning runs mostly on composite and tropical hardwood in the newer east tracts.
How soon can I stain the deck after cleaning?
No, wood needs to hit below about 15% moisture content before stain will bond. That usually means 48 to 72 hours of dry weather after a cleaning. Stain on a wet deck will peel within a year.
Will pressure washing splinter my deck?
Only if someone misuses the wand. Tips held back from the surface and cleaner chemistry do most of the work. If your deck is already rough, a light sand pass after drying smooths it before you stain.
