The problem with the deck was that it had been pressure washed with bleach

and left for about a year without any coating. It had the usual problems

associated with such neglect. It had very dry and cracked boards, boards

where all holding water and had mold and mildew.

We decided a pressure wash was not the best option seeing the condition of

the wood. so we elected to do a chemical wash instead. We the hand brushed

and rolled semi-solid oil base stain. The deck came out great and the client

was highly satisfied.
