Just wanted to share my experience with a pretty nasty and stained deck I washed today. Process was pretty straight forward. 2% and some Elemonator, waited about 5 minutes, took a deck brush to thec worst spots, again, another 5-10 dwell then wanded at 2500 psi. I had a couple small spots that didn’t come clean, but a quick spray bottle with a 6% mix and they dissappear.

Who would let you work on a Sunday at their house, and why would you? Just curious, and nice work.
I’m part time, I work weekends and evenings during the week. I only do one or two in the mornings on weekends, so I’m home by 10 or so.

I have never seen a tradesman working on Sunday.
Do you have any pictures of the deck dry? They always look good wet.
By the way, I use a 16" SC on those and with my 4gpm it’s downtuned enough to work perfect. No hand scrubbing needed
Looks great.
I always recommend hitting the bad spots with a deck brush over pressure. It works great and only takes a few seconds.

No I don’t, but you’re right, the wetter the better!
It makes for better before and after pics this way. Also, its better to treat composite like wood, it can be somewhat soft, so too much risk in surface cleaning it. With a good pretreat it doesn’t take long with the wand. I started at 1200 psi, but the lichen was too bad so I swapped tips for 2500.
I’ve done that in the past, but never in a neighborhood. I am dead center in the Bible belt though.

Not super common here but I do see it.
It’s usually commercial lawn companies. Maybe that’s just because they’re most visible.
I drove past one of my competitors out working today as I was headed home from church.
