We gently remove mildew, algae, and grime without damaging your deck’s surface. Our soft-wash method preserves wood and composite materials while restoring beauty and safety to your outdoor space.
Your deck is an extension of your home — a place for gathering, relaxing, and spending time outdoors. Constant exposure to weather, UV rays, moisture, and foot traffic can lead to mold, mildew, algae, and embedded dirt that make the surface look worn and can contribute to long-term deterioration.
At Duboff Exterior Cleaning, we provide gentle, effective deck cleaning designed to restore a cleaner, fresher appearance to wood and composite surfaces while reducing the risk of damage.
We use a low-pressure cleaning method combined with deck-appropriate, biodegradable cleaners to break down organic buildup and surface staining while helping preserve the condition of the material.

Deck surfaces can be damaged by excessive pressure, especially when wood fibers are already weathered or raised from moisture and sun exposure.

After cleaning, many decks benefit from proper drying time followed by sealing or staining, depending on the material and overall condition. Appropriate post-clean maintenance can help preserve appearance, reduce moisture-related wear, and extend the service life of the deck.
A clean deck is safer, more inviting, and better prepared for regular use throughout the year. Our goal is to improve the appearance of your outdoor space while treating the surface with the care it requires.
Many homeowners schedule deck cleaning together with fence cleaning or driveway cleaning to refresh the entire outdoor area at once.
