Spring is here, and that means it’s time to refresh your deck for the season ahead! If
your deck has already been treated with Cutek®, maintenance is simple—a quick clean
is often all you need to keep it looking great and protected.
Regular upkeep not only preserves your deck’s natural beauty but also extends
its lifespan—helping you avoid costly repairs or reapplications. Let’s walk through the
easiest way to maintain your deck this spring.
Step 1: Clean Your Deck with Cutek® QuickClean
Over the winter, decks accumulate dirt, pollen, and mildew from moisture and weather
exposure. A quick clean with Cutek® QuickClean is usually all you need to refresh
your deck for spring.
How to Use QuickClean for Spring Maintenance
✅ Mix a Quarter-Strength Solution
Dilute Cutek® QuickClean at 1/4 to 1/2 bottle in 1 gallon of water.
Pour the solution into a pump sprayer and apply with the wides nozzle for
easy application.
✅ Apply & Let It Work
Spray the diluted QuickClean evenly over the deck surface.
Let it sit for 15-20 minutes to break down dirt and organic buildup.
✅ Scrub Lightly (If Needed)
For stubborn spots, use a deck brush to gently scrub the surface.
If your deck is heavily soiled, increase QuickClean strength slightly and repeat
the process.
✅ Rinse with a Pressure Washer
Use a pressure washer with a green tip or fan-like nozzle to rinse the surface.
Avoid high-pressure settings that could gouge the wood.
If using a garden hose, ensure thorough rinsing to remove any residue.
Your deck is now clean and ready for the season!
Step 2: Does Your Deck Need a Maintenance Coat?
If your deck still looks rich and well-protected, you’re good to go! However, if you’re
noticing fading or uneven wear, it may be time for a maintenance coat of Cutek®
Extreme with Colortone.
How to Tell If Your Deck Needs More Colortone
✅ Fading but NOT Graying
If the wood looks lighter than when you first treated it, applying another coat of
Cutek® Extreme with the same Colortone will refresh the color and boost UV
protection.
This helps maintain a consistent and rich appearance.
✅ Graying or Silvering
If the wood has started turning gray, it’s best to treat it with Cutek®
Reviver before cleaning.
Colortones prevent graying by blocking UV damage—think of them
as sunscreen for your deck.
If your deck has been regularly maintained with Colortone, graying is unlikely.
Step 3: Protect & Enhance Your Deck for the Long Term
Maintaining your deck in the spring keeps it looking great year-round and protects it
from UV damage, moisture, and cracking.
�� The key to long-term deck protection? Keep up with routine cleaning and refresh
Colortone as needed.
✅ Pro Tip: If you have a high-exposure deck (lots of sun or rain), consider applying
an annual maintenance coat of Cutek® Extreme to ensure continued protection.
✅ Pro Tip: Avoid applying oil during peak pollen season, heavy leaf fall, or
caterpillar infestations. Try to avoid times when things are dropping, like Spongey
Moth or similar caterpillars, heavy pollen, and maple helicopters in the spring, or leaves
and evergreen needles in the fall if your deck is in a wooded area.. These can get
trapped in the finish and cause extra work later.
