Restore, Protect, and Beautify Your Deck With Professional Cleaning in Austin
For over 18 years, Central Texas Window Cleaning has provided expert deck cleaning in Austin, TX. As a locally owned company with 680+ five-star reviews, they’re trusted for safe, effective service.
Professional cleanings remove algae, mildew, and moss that cause rot or slick surfaces, while restoring color and preparing decks to stain and seal (restoration not included). Their soft-wash approach and material-specific pressure settings protect wood, composite, and poolside decks, even older or delicate ones.
Furniture can be moved for a small fee, and because Austin’s humid climate accelerates buildup, homeowners often schedule cleanings twice a year to keep decks looking their best. Call us for deck and professional house cleaning in Austin today!

What Types of Decks and Surfaces Do We Clean?
Wood Deck Cleaning: Cedar, Pine, and Pressure–Treated Lumber
Wood is the most common request, and we treat it with care:
- Pressure: 800–1500 PSI, adjusted for deck condition
- Cleaning solution: 1–2% sodium hypochlorite with surfactant
- Dwell time: 10–15 minutes, depending on weather and buildup
- Soft brushing on detailed grain for wood preservation
- Neutralizer rinse with oxalic acid if you’re planning to stain
- All debris is bagged up and hauled away
Composite Deck Cleaning: Trex® and Similar Brands
Composite needs a lighter approach. We keep pressure between 600–800 PSI, use gentle non-caustic cleaners, and rinse with purified water to prevent streaking.
Pool Decks: Chlorine–Compatible Cleaning
Here, we use a chlorine-safe solution, watering the area before and after treatment to protect finishes. Minimal runoff won’t affect your pool chemistry.

Our 5-Step Deck Cleaning Process Safe, Thorough, and Custom-Tailored
Deck Inspection and Preparation
We first determine whether your deck is wood or composite to choose the proper cleaning method. Then, we check for rot, loose nails, soft spots, mold, algae, or other damage, and document with photos. Outlets and landscaping are protected, and furnishings are carefully removed from the cleaning area. You’ll also get a text when we’re on the way.
Apply Cleaning
Solution
A gentle cleaning solution (1.5–2% mix with surfactant) is applied to break down dirt, mold, and algae. For heavy buildup, a small amount of sodium hypochlorite may be added. The solution is left to soak for 10–15 minutes to work effectively.
Gentle
Pressure Rinse
We rinse with just enough pressure to lift debris without damaging the surface. Fan-tip nozzles are used to prevent etching, and we work in sections so the solution doesn’t dry out too quickly.
Final Rinse and Walkthrough
We complete a thorough rinse, then return furnishings to their original positions. Finally, we walk you through the finished results in person, or send detailed photos if you’re not home. Our office will follow up the next day to ensure your satisfaction.
Attention: Any wood decks that require stripping will involve an additional fee due to the extra labor. This service is priced onsite by a Service Expert.
Treat
Stubborn Spots
Any remaining algae, mildew, or stains are gently brushed or treated with a stronger solution for complete removal. If you’re planning to stain, we apply an oxalic acid neutralizer to balance the wood before finishing.
Our Satisfaction Guarantee and Property Protection Promise
You don’t pay unless you’re happy. Pool decks have a slight runoff risk, but we minimize it by using diluted, pool-safe solutions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you clean a deck that has heavy furniture or an outdoor kitchen on it?
Yes, we can clean decks with furniture or outdoor kitchen setups. We offer optional furniture removal for an additional fee, or we can clean around stationary items if full removal isn’t possible. For best results, we recommend clearing the deck in advance whenever feasible.
What happens if water or cleaning solution gets into my pool during pool deck cleaning?
We take every precaution to keep runoff out of your pool, but minimal contact is sometimes unavoidable. The cleaning solution we use contains diluted bleach, which is already a component of pool water and won’t harm your pool chemistry. You’ll be informed beforehand if your deck layout poses a higher risk of runoff.
Will deck cleaning remove oxidation or sun damage from wood?
Yes, light oxidation and UV discoloration can often be reduced with the use of neutralizers like oxalic acid. While deck cleaning improves the appearance of faded wood, it won’t restore deeply weathered or structurally damaged boards. We do not offer full wood restoration or staining services.
Will the deck be slippery after cleaning?
Decks may feel slightly damp or slick immediately after cleaning, but this effect is temporary. Once fully dry, the cleaned surface is actually safer—especially if algae or mildew was present before. We advise waiting until the surface is completely dry before walking on it.
Is it safe for pets or kids to walk on the deck after it’s been cleaned?
Yes, the deck is safe for pets and children once it’s dry. We rinse thoroughly with clean water after applying any cleaning solutions to remove residue. As an extra measure, we recommend waiting 1–2 hours post-cleaning before allowing foot traffic.
How long after cleaning can I walk on the deck or return furniture?
You can walk on the deck once it’s fully dry, usually within 1–2 hours. Furniture should be returned only after the surface has completely dried to prevent dents or water stains. Drying time may vary slightly based on weather and sun exposure.
Do you offer deck cleaning maintenance plans or reminders?
While we don’t offer a formal maintenance plan, we do recommend biannual deck cleanings for Austin’s climate. We can make a note in our system to remind you seasonally or during your preferred timeframe. Regular maintenance helps prevent algae buildup and extends the life of your deck.
Can you clean painted or stained decks without damaging the finish?
Yes, we use a soft wash method and adjust pressure settings to avoid damaging painted or sealed surfaces. However, some older finishes may already be compromised and could flake during cleaning. We’ll inspect the surface first and proceed cautiously if the finish is at risk.
What should I do if it rains right after my deck cleaning?
Light rain after cleaning won’t harm your deck, but heavy rain may reduce the visual results. If rain is expected during your scheduled appointment, we may recommend rescheduling for optimal results. If necessary, we’ll return to touch up any affected areas.
