Coming up on cleaning our deck with the 50/50 water/bleach solution everyone here recommends......will it hurt my perennials and annuals I have under there?? What about if I spray them with fresh water directly afterwards?
What about if I use an Oxy~clean solution instead? Any ideas?
THANKS!!

When using bleach 25% in water, rinse the surrounding area before and after application to protect the surfaces and plants involved.
