Get a Clean Deck and Patio Just in Time for Backyard Season
Posted by: Erika Green on June 2, 2022

If you’re thinking about spring cleaning, don’t forget about the outside of your home. As the days grow longer, a clean deck, porch or patio becomes more than just an extension of your home. It becomes a place to gather, enjoy a good meal and make memories all season long. So, make sure to give these spaces a little extra TLC this season with tools and equipment from The Home Depot Rental.
Get a Clean Deck and Cleaning Your Other Wood Surfaces
There’s nothing more satisfying than washing away winter to reveal a fresh, clean deck. The easiest way to rid a deck of weathering, mold or mildew is a good pressure washing. We offer a variety of pressure washer rentals in different sizes and strengths to tackle surface cleaning.
Electric pressure washers are ideal for light-duty projects, but a gas pressure washer is great for deck restoration and surface prep. You can also incorporate a deck wash into your cleaning routine to further restore the look of a clean deck. Once pressure washed, a clean deck can either be sealed, stained or painted to further protect it from the elements. If you’re opting for a paint job, consider a medium duty paint sprayer to get the job done quick.
A pressure washer rental can do more than get you a clean deck. Consider using it for other wood or vinyl surfaces around you home:
- Fences
- Gazebos and pergolas
- Raised garden beds
- Picnic tables and patio furniture
- Exterior walls and siding
Cleaning Your Patio and other Concrete Surfaces
A pressure washer rental is one of the most useful outdoor cleaning tools. In addition to restoring wood to its bright, natural color, it can also help you create a clean patio, walkway, driveway and garage. This is the time to blast away winter salt, oil stains and natural growth and debris from concrete surfaces.
If you’re already renting a pressure washer, consider adding the driveway and surface attachment to your list, too. This attachment connects easily to pressure washers and it’s great for cleaning large surface areas like driveways, sidewalks and patios. Using vinegar to remove oil stains from brick pavers is also a great hack if you’re dealing with these pesky stains on these areas. You can also stock up on paving cleaner and other solutions from The Home Depot’s one-stop shop.
Enjoy Clean Patio Furniture
Accomplishing a clean patio or clean deck is incredibly satisfying, but don’t stop there! You deserve fresh and clean patio furniture to lounge on all season long. If cleaning outdoor cushions is your goal, a spot detailer rental can get the project done right. A spot detailer is the ultimate patio furniture cleaner. Just stock up on some solution and get to work removing mold, dirt and grime to bring the beauty back to your outdoor furniture.
If you’re also cleaning an outdoor rug, maybe opt for a carpet cleaner with a spot detailer attachment. That way, you can cleanse all your outdoor décor in a weekend.
Renting tools from The Home Depot Rental makes spring outdoor cleaning a breeze. All of our tool rentals like pressure washers and detailers are available to rent online and pick up at your local Home Depot store to make planning your stop simple.
