Deck Cleaning in Hamilton
Restore Your Deck's Natural Beauty with Professional Cleaning
Professional Deck Cleaning That Removes Buildup and Protects Your Investment
Hamilton’s hot, humid summers and heavy winter snowfall create ideal conditions for mold, algae, and dirt to take hold on your deck. Shaded backyards, pooling moisture, and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles accelerate the damage, breaking down wood fibres, making composite surfaces dangerously slippery, and cutting years off the life of your deck boards and structural supports.
X Wash provides professional deck cleaning services in Hamilton that safely strip away organic growth, ground-in dirt, and weathered grey discolouration. We tailor our cleaning methods to your specific deck material, whether you have a pressure-treated wood deck, natural cedar, Trex, or another composite brand. After every wood deck cleaning, we apply a wood brightener to bring back the warm, natural tones that Hamilton’s weather wears away season after season. Whether your deck is the centerpiece of your backyard in Ancaster or attached to your family home in Stoney Creek, we deliver results you can see and feel underfoot.
Deck Surfaces We Clean
- Pressure-treated wood
- Cedar and natural hardwoods
- Trex and composite decking
- PVC and vinyl decking

- Deck stairs and landings

Trusted Hamilton Deck Cleaning Specialists
Deck cleaning requires knowing how different materials hold up under pressure and how they react to cleaning agents. Too much pressure on cedar raises the grain and causes splintering. The wrong product on Trex decking leaves streaks or strips the protective cap layer. At X Wash, our Hamilton-based team knows how to treat each surface, dialing water pressure from 500 to 3000 PSI depending on the material and selecting cleaning solutions designed for specific deck types.

Deck Cleaning Protects More Than Appearance
A dirty deck isn’t just unsightly, it’s a safety risk. Mold and algae create slippery surfaces that become hazardous when wet, particularly on stairs and around pool areas. On wood decks, organic growth traps moisture against the boards, speeding up rot and decay that leads to soft spots and structural weakness. On composite decks, embedded dirt can permanently stain the surface and reduce the effectiveness of the textured grip pattern.
Professional deck cleaning eliminates these problems at the source. By removing mold spores, algae, and ground-in dirt, we restore safe footing and add years to your deck’s lifespan before repairs or replacement become necessary. For wood decks being prepped for staining or sealing, cleaning is a critical first step – stain applied over dirt or mildew won’t absorb properly and will peel within a season. Routine deck cleaning is one of the most cost-effective maintenance steps you can take to protect your outdoor living space.
Our Professional Deck Cleaning Process
At X Wash, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to deck cleaning. Wood decks need different treatment than composite, and a neglected deck covered in years of buildup demands more attention than one on a regular cleaning schedule. We combine soft washing and pressure washing techniques based on what your deck actually requires.
What Makes Our Approach Different?
- Pressure and cleaning method matched to your specific deck material
- Soft washing for delicate surfaces, pressure cleaning for heavy buildup
- Biodegradable, eco-friendly cleaning solutions
- Wood brightener application included with all wood deck cleanings
- Careful attention to railings, stairs, and hard-to-reach areas
- Safe for surrounding landscaping and gardens
1. Inspect & Assess
We examine your deck’s material, condition, and the type of buildup present. We check for loose boards, exposed nails, and areas needing extra care, then select the right pressure settings and cleaning solutions for your specific deck.
2. Pre-Treat Problem Areas
Heavy mold, algae, or staining gets a targeted application of our cleaning solution. This breaks down organic growth and loosens embedded dirt before washing begins, allowing us to achieve a deeper clean with less pressure.
3. Clean the Deck Surface
Using the right combination of soft washing and pressure cleaning for your deck material, we work methodically across the entire surface, boards, railings, stairs, and posts. We maintain consistent distance and pressure to prevent streaking or surface damage.
4. Brighten & Final Rinse
For wood decks, we apply a brightening agent that neutralizes cleaning solution residue and restores the natural wood colour. We finish with a complete rinse and walk through the results with you to make sure every detail meets your expectations.
