Types and styles of deck cleaners

Deck cleaners are available in several types in New Zealand, each with its own formulas, traits and uses which are important to know before any purchase is made.

Bleach-based

Bleach-based deck wash products are one of the best options for homeowners in New Zealand, although they require more caution compared to other cleaners. They are extremely effective at preventing the growth of mould.

Oxygen-bleach

Oxygen-bleach cleaners are a safer alternative to regular bleach-based products. The oxygen-activated formula helps your porch stay shinier for longer periods. It’s also environmentally safe.

Acid-based

Acid-based deck cleaners are commonly used as a brightener. It restores the wood’s natural colour back to its former glory without using bleach or other hazardous materials.

All-purpose

All-purpose cleaners are one of the best options for painted decks, as they don’t damage the paint. However, this type of wood deck cleaner isn't as strong as other products.

Trisodium phosphate

Trisodium phosphate is powder-based. It’s specially formulated to inhibit the growth of mould and mildew.

The advantages of high-quality deck cleaners

Using a high-quality deck cleaner is one of the best ways to improve your deck’s appearance, protecting it from the elements and preventing it from looking grey and dull. This also increases its lifespan and reduces the need for regular maintenance. They also help make your porch safer by inhibiting the growth of mould, mildew, or algae, which can be harmful to your family and the environment. In addition, a well-kept porch increases your property value. High-quality solutions should always be prioritised as they are made with tried and tested formulas, rigorously tested by reputable manufacturers with a track record of excellence. This makes them more effective, faster and easier to use and typically safer and better for the environment.

How to choose a deck cleaner that’s right for you

Your choice of deck cleaner will depend on your deck’s materials and specifications. For instance, if it’s a painted deck, consider using gentler chemicals, such as all-purpose cleaners. On the other hand, if you’re looking to brighten your deck’s wood, you should go with acid-based or oxygen-bleach cleaners. Understanding exactly what surface a deck cleaner is made for is therefore key to picking the right choice for you. Trusting high-quality products is also important for reliable results that will clean your deck without damaging it. These experienced manufacturers typically produce other related products like decking oils which you can also use in conjunction with your cleaners.
