Safe, Professional Deck Cleaning in Columbus, Ohio

Don't hire a house washer to treat delicate exterior wood, and don't hire a standard painter who doesn't understand wood chemistry. Orange Soft Wash delivers a dedicated, end-to-end deck refinishing process handled entirely by our in-house team—never subcontracted.

Our 4-Step Deck Restoration Process

Step 1. Advanced Chemical Conditioning (No High Pressure):

We never blast wood with destructive high pressure, which destroys wood fibers and causes severe fuzzing. Instead, we apply our proprietary Orange Soft Wash Deck Cleaner. This targeted solution emulsifies failed sealers, mold, mildew, and deeply embedded organic growth, allowing us to gently rinse the contaminants away safely.

Step 2. Wood pH Neutralizing & Brightening:

Cleaning agents leave wood in a highly alkaline state, which turns the wood dark and weathered. We apply Orange Soft Wash Deck Brightener to neutralize the pH. This critical chemical reaction opens the wood pores and restores the gorgeous, natural honey-tan color of the raw lumber, perfectly prepping it to accept a finish.

Step 3. Mechanical Surface Prep (Sanding):

If your deck has existing surface damage, or is "fuzzy" from a previous contractor's improper high-pressure washing, we don't just stain over it. Our in-house technicians perform targeted mechanical sanding to smooth out damaged wood fibers, ensuring a flawless, splinter-free surface that is safe for bare feet.

Step 4. Deep-Penetrating Architectural Staining:

We protect your investment using only the highest-quality, deep-penetrating, non-film-forming oil-based semi-transparent stains (such as TWP). Unlike cheap, solid big-box store stains that sit on top of the wood and inevitably crack and peel, our professional-grade oil stains dive deep into the wood grain to protect from the inside out.

Deck Soft Washing FAQs

Yes. Soft washing uses low pressure and safe cleaning solutions, so it won’t splinter wood, strip sealants, or damage your deck like high-pressure washing can.

Most decks benefit from a professional cleaning once a year. If your deck is shaded or prone to moisture, you may need it cleaned more often to prevent algae and mildew buildup.

Soft washing uses low pressure and cleaning solutions to safely clean without damaging the wood or composite, while pressure washing can strip finishes and splinter surfaces.

No. We never subcontract our work. Every single stage of your deck restoration—from the initial chemical clean to the final brush stroke of stain—is performed by fully trained, licensed, and insured Orange Soft Wash employees.

We exclusively use premium, professional-grade, non-film-forming oil-based semi-transparent stains, featuring industry-leading brands like TWP. We do not use cheap, water-based acrylic topcoats that trap moisture and lead to premature wood rot and peeling.

We are a full-service deck care company. We handle evaluation, condition diagnostics, soft washing, stripping, pH balancing, brightening, precision sanding, and premium sealing/restaining. The only thing we do not do is structural carpentry or building from scratch. If your existing wood is structurally sound but visually weathered, we can restore it.

Our trained team conducts a thorough physical evaluation of your deck's current state. We check for wood moisture levels, previous coating types (oil vs. water-based), surface degradation, and fiber soundness to design a customized restoration plan tailored specifically to your deck's wood species.
