I restained my deck, and I sill can’t keep it clean. Sealer??

5 years ago

I restained my deck using Cabot deck correct in hopes that it would seal well enough to make paw print clean up easier.

When I go to clean the deck, I still find my self having to go back over it with the pressure washer multiple times, and even scrubbing in order to remove the mud, dirt and prints.

Is there a clear coat or something I can apply over the stain that would make washing off the deck easier?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I’m desperate! Thanks guys.

I did a multiple things.

1) replaced a redwood deck with Trex, rinses/washes very easily.

2) wash station

3) gates to prevent muddy paw access

This doesn't answer your question, but . . .

Those are some muddy paw prints! I hate to think what is tracked into your house. You might consider a polypropylene runner. Something like this: indoor-outdoor runner

Biggest problem i see is the color....a tan color would make a lot more sense..even if you have to paint...so just a quick once over cleaning will suffice...

We just rebuilt a deck with PVC and it shows muddy footprints i imagine all flooring would and expect a string mop and hose will clean it when I’m ready.
