Step 1 · Clear the Deck

Before you can begin cleaning your deck, it is essential to clear the entire surface of any items that would obstruct your work. This includes, but is not limited to, patio furniture, grills, planters, doormats, and any decorative items. Move these items to a safe location away from the deck, such as a lawn or driveway, to prevent them from being damaged or in the way during the cleaning process.
