What should consumers know about maintaining their outdoor living space?
You want to winterize your outdoor space. So, especially if you have a wooden deck, you want to remove dirt, pine needles, debris—both on the surface and in between the deck boards. Keep it clean and free of mold and mildew. It’s best to use an oxygen bleach solution to treat the wood and kill mold and mildew. Use the mildest solution possible, and oxygen bleach is preferred over chlorine because it is much less harmful to the wood.
