Spring cleaning? Don't forget the deck

Article Abstract:

Spring cleaning should include the deck, not only to get it ready for good weather but also to prolong its useful life. Dry leaves can be removed with a blower, while wet ones need a stiff broom or brush. Mold and mildew can be removed with a mixture of trisodium phosphate, bleach and water.
