Do not use chlorine bleach (sodium hypochlorite) or any product that contains chlorine bleach to clean your deck! Chlorine bleach breaks apart the glue that holds together your wood fibers in the deck, it also can/will remove the natural wood color, and it can corrode metal deck components like any brackets or such you might have used or the customer might have used to build the deck.... THAATS FOR CLEANING AN UN FINISHED DECK

Here comes trouble.....
We use a bleach solution for all of our maintenance washes, works awesome.
Call Celeste and do more reading on the subject. I cannot stress this enough: DO NOT take only one persons opinion on how to perform wood care. Its an art, and many just dabble in it.
Your equipment will work fine for part time use. And staining by hand is our preferred method. Don't make it harder than it has to be when beginning. Learn a process, and expand from there. Quality prep work and quality stain are the keys to a nice finish.
