Deck cleaning
Decks brushed clean with very little water. No water blaster, so no softened timber ripped out and no furry, grooved boards.
What's included
- A look at the deck and a test patch first
- A mechanical brush pass with diluted Bona Deep Clean Solution
- A clean-water pass to rinse away the dirt that was lifted
- A third pass where the deck is heavily soiled
Why it's safe for decks
- A brush lifts the dirt without tearing out the softer wood
- Very little water, so less soaks into the timber
- The cleaner leaves no residue or powder and does not discolour
- Even results across the whole deck, with no wand stripes
Test patch first. We always clean a small area first to check how your floor responds before we do the rest.
Why we don't water blast decks
Water blasting
- Water soaks into deck timber and softens it over time.
- The blaster rips the softer wood out, leaving a furry finish and grooves in the boards.
- It's easy to get wrong, and the damage can't be undone. Damaged boards have to be replaced.
- It uses a lot more water.
LookClean brush clean
- A mechanical brush lifts the dirt instead of cutting into the wood.
- No furry finish, no grooves.
- Bona Deep Clean Solution: no residue, no powder, no discolouring.
- Very little water.
Three levels of clean, matched to the floor.
We recommend a level once we've seen the floor, or photos of it. Every job starts with a test patch.
- Most floors
Standard two-pass
One pass with diluted Bona Deep Clean Solution and the brush, then a second pass with clean water to rinse away the dirt that was lifted.
- Heavier soiling
Three-pass
A step up from the standard clean, for floors and decks with more built-up dirt. We recommend it after seeing how soiled the floor is.
- Old polish build-up
Polish removal
A separate system for taking old polish off the floor. Ask us whether your floor needs it.
How a job runs
- 01
Tell us about the floor
Floor type, rough size, suburb and a few photos. We'll recommend a service level and quote.
- 02
Test patch
Before we clean, we always test a small area first to check how the floor responds.
- 03
Brush clean
A mechanical brush pass with diluted Bona Deep Clean Solution lifts the dirt out of the surface.
- 04
Clean-water rinse
A second pass with clean water takes away the lifted dirt. Heavier soiling gets a third pass.
