The Environmental Impact of Runoff in Deck Cleaning
Cleaning a deck removes algae, dirt and weathered surface material, helping maintain its appearance and making slippery areas safer to use. However, the water leaving the deck can carry more than visible grime. Cleaning chemicals, timber particles, old coatings and organic matter can travel into garden beds, drainage systems and nearby waterways. For property owners in Prospect, responsible Deck Cleaning means planning where wash water will go before cleaning begins.
