I'm working on a brochure for customers to give after we complete a job. Basically a list of things they can do that will help prolong the life of their finish. What are some things you tell customers when you finish a job?
Decks with Pools:
--Avoid hanging wet towels over handrails or leaving wet towels on decking surfaces
--When adding liquid or powder chemicals to the pool, quickly rinse any spills
Decks:
--On lower elevation decks, keep vegetation around the deck trimmed and spaced apart to allow for adequate ventilation
--Sweep or blow leaves and debris off the decking surface. Debris can trap moisture and degrade the finish
--When possible, lift chairs instead of dragging them
--Use a grill mat to keep grease spills off the wood
--Rotate deck furniture (particularly umbrellas or storage boxes) to allow the deck to wear more evenly
--Brush snow off a deck instead of shoveling. Use a plastic shovel if necessary. Use sand instead of salt on wood walkways
--Keep planters elevated from the deck surface. Use plant caddies to move larger pots.
