Best Way to Clean and Stain a Deck
When its time to clean and stain a deck, a little bit of hard work makes a big difference. If you want your deck stain to last over time, you need to start by preparing the deck correctly. In this video, I show how I used the Restore-A-Deck cleaning product to prepare my deck for a new coat of stain. Even though I've used the product before, I was shocked at out well it cleaned the old stain from the surface. I then went with the same Armstrong Clark stain I used 4 years ago so I only needed to re-stain the horizontal surfaces.
Restore-A-Deck sent me the stain, cleaning system, and application tools used in this video. They do not pay me for my reviews or opinions. I paid in full for their products the first time I stained my deck and their cleaner then brightener made it so easy I was more than happy to use them again.
