$50 pool deck restoration. Staining Pool Decks with concrete stain.
What happens here
Prior to staining, ensure the concrete surface is thoroughly cleaned. This involves pressure washing the entire deck to remove dirt, grime, and any loose previous coatings. For very smooth concrete, it's also necessary to etch the surface to create a better profile for the stain to adhere. Muriatic acid can be used for etching, but always follow manufacturer instructions for any etching product.
Goal: Clean and etch the concrete for optimal stain adhesion
