Summer is the time of year when home decks are used the most, so it's important to keep up on maintenance and cleanliness before the season.
When cleaning a deck, don't use a pressure washer because a wood deck will fray. Also, don't use a toxic cleaner, especially with children around.
For a wooden deck, spray it off with a hose to cool it down so people don't burn their feet. Otherwise, people can upgrade to an aluminum deck that doesn't absorb heat, which is available at Sunspace of West Michigan.
