Hey all. I have a neice who has a deck that I'm going to be adding onto starting next week. What's there is 12 by 16 a d it'll be a 20 by 24 after.
her and her hubby bought the house three years ago and I don't think the PO took proper care of the deck. I did what I could win information gained here, but the results were just good ish. So, to save them some money and to make the existing deck look better, I pulled the deck boards up and flipped them over. The bottoms are in very good condition, which I figured they would as they didint get any sun. But the problem I have now is dirt/ grime stains where they were sitting on the joists. I already pressure washed once without chemicals and it all cleaned up real nice except for where the dirt/grime from the joists. Well, actually, there is some algae,too, to get rid of, but not that bad.
Before I go throwing chemicals at this and making a mess, I thought I'd ask for some recommendations on chemicals to use for this. I don't seem to find anything with the search and seem to be having some maladapive brain activity(brain fart) on what to use.
any and all recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
id like to add a photo, but my cameras 150 miles away. Not very computer/ electronic savvy, but maybe when my neice gets home from work she might have one of them fancy phones that can get a picture and I( actually she) can get it on here.
