J.P. 14 Report post Posted July 6, 2012 Now that I've properly stripped, neutralized and stained my deck, I'd like to keep it looking good as long as possible and to maximize the life of the stain. What yearly maintenance steps do I need to take? I'm assuming yearly cleaning, but with what product, Sodium Precarb??? Also, does the Sodium Precarb need to be neutralized like the stripper, or is that only when re-staining? What brand/products do you recommend and are there any that can be added to the reservoir of a 20:1 downstream injectable pressure washer? Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigchaz 157 Report post Posted July 6, 2012 I wouldn't use a percarb unless ready to restain since it can strip some of the finish. For yearly cleaning i would dump household bleach in that resovoir with some dish soap and that will be perfect for getting it clean after pollen season Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J.P. 14 Report post Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) That would be cheaper and easier. I don't know why I thought bleach was a no/no. Edited July 6, 2012 by J.P. Grammer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
