My POV restoring a deck! #painter #restoration #restore #pov #diy

What happens here

Begin by thoroughly wetting the old, peeling wooden deck surface with a garden hose equipped with a spray nozzle. Once wet, apply the 'Expert Deck Cleaner (Step 1)' directly onto the wood. Using a stiff-bristled scrub brush, vigorously work the cleaner into the wood grain. This step is crucial for removing loose paint, dirt, mildew, and preparing the surface for further treatment.

Goal: Remove old finish, dirt, and mildew from the deck
