How-To Clean & Protect Your Deck

1. Existing decks should be tested to determine if it's time to re-treat by splashing water on the surface. If it's absorbed rapidly, darkening the wood, it's time to reapply a waterproofer. If water beads up or otherwise sits on top of surface, then surface does not need protection at this time.

2. When choosing a deck finish you need to consider the characteristics of each type of finish and the ultimate look you want to achieve.

   • Both Thompson's® WaterSeal® Wood Protectors and Thompson's® WaterSeal® stains offer color choices, effective waterproofing protection, UV and mildew resistance, all in one coat.

3. New decks should be treated without delay. It does not take long for exposed wood to be damaged. New pressure-treated lumber should be treated immediately with Thompson's® WaterSeal® Advanced Waterproofers, or 30 days after installation with other Thompson's® WaterSeal® Waterproofers.
