View Full Version : Staining a deck


04-02-01, 05:33 AM
HI...I have a deck that was pressure washed and sealed about 2 years ago. It still passes the water test (i.e. water beads up) but it looks grey. I want to stain it. My question is do I have to powerwash or clean the deck prior to me staining it ? It is treated lumber on the deck..

Thanks for any advice....
