Deck Washing Project in Alpena, MI – A 40-Year-Old Deck Transformed Through Soft Washing

When we were contacted to clean a 40-year-old deck in Alpena, MI, we knew this project would be something special. The deck had seen decades of weathering, dirt buildup, and organic staining, and the customer was hopeful but skeptical about what could be done. Using our eco-friendly hydrogen peroxide-based cleaner, we set out to restore this aged deck to its former glory—and the results were nothing short of transformative.
Our hydrogen peroxide cleaner is specially formulated to safely lift dirt, grime, and organic growth while being gentle on the wood and safe for the surrounding environment. This biodegradable solution not only breaks down mold, mildew, and algae but also pulls out deep-set stains and tannins from the wood. The powerful cleaning action allowed us to remove years of graying and discoloration, revealing the natural, rich tones of the wood beneath. The oxygenated formula bubbles up contaminants, lifting them away without the need for harsh scrubbing or damaging high pressure.
As we completed the job, the customer watched in awe as the deck went from dull and weathered to bright and revitalized. They were in disbelief at the dramatic difference, commenting that they had not seen the deck look this good in decades. The project was a perfect example of how professional cleaning and the right eco-friendly products can restore and preserve even the oldest surfaces.
