What happens here
The first major step involves thoroughly cleaning the deck using a gas-powered pressure washer. The presenter demonstrates starting a North Star pressure washer and then uses it on both the deck surface and the railings. The process removes accumulated dirt, grime, and old, peeling stain, revealing cleaner wood underneath. This is identified as 'Day 1 Prep/Pressure Washing 6 Hours'. The speaker later clarifies this process involved using a cleaning agent (Star Brite cleaner) followed by pressure washing.
Goal: Remove old stain, dirt, and organic growth from the deck.
