Power Washing a Wood Deck

Cleaning a wood deck and preparing it for staining can be a lot of work but the power washer can make short work of the cleaning process. It can also absolutely ruin your wood if you use the tool improperly with too much water pressure or getting the tip too close to the wood.

In the tutorial How to Power Wash a Deck, I'll give you an overview on how to use this tool so it stays a "power washer" and not a "power engraver." We'll review the steps and issues you need to know about safely cleaning your wood deck with a power washer without damaging the wood.
