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

What happens here

After scrubbing, thoroughly rinse the deck with the garden hose to remove all traces of the cleaner and any loosened debris. Next, use a pump sprayer to apply 'Expert Deck Brightener (Step 2)' evenly over the wet deck surface. Allow the brightener to sit for the manufacturer's recommended dwell time (typically 5-15 minutes). Finally, rinse the deck completely with the garden hose, ensuring no residue remains and the wood is clean and ready for drying.

Goal: Neutralize cleaner, brighten wood, and prepare for sanding
