Before you start, ensure it's been at least 2 weeks since you last coated your deck.

Step 1. Remove any loose materials like dirt, leaves, or debris that have accumulated on the surface. This is where the trusty Cabot's Deck Prep brush comes in handy.

Step 2. Shake contents before use and dilute one-part Cabot's Everyday Deck Wash to ten-parts water in your Cabot's Deck Hand bucket. You can use the measurements on the inside of the bucket to help guide you.

Step 3. Hose down the deck with water.

Step 4. Start scrubbing the solution into the timber using your Deck Brush, paying extra attention to any particularly dirty areas.

Step 5. After you've scrubbed the entire deck, let the Everyday Deck Wash sit for 10 – 20 minutes but don't allow it to dry on the surface. If required, lightly spray the deck to keep it wet for this duration.

Step 6. Lastly, use a hose to rinse the deck thoroughly making sure to remove all the solution.

And that's it! Clean and refreshed timber decking with a pleasant citrus fragrance. Cabot's Everyday Deck Wash is the easy to use timber deck maintenance solution offering 60m2 coverage per 1L bottle. Grab your Cabot's Everyday Deck Wash from the woodcare aisle at your nearest stockist today.
