How to bring life back to our deck?
Because of health issues we were not able to stain the deck. It is worn and cracked but not real bad. Wondering if there is something to do without replacing the boards.

Thomas...What about a good pressure wash using Krud Kutter from Lowes.
I had a similar problem and ended up turning the deck boards over, rescrewing back down. I only had to replace 3-4 boards with new ones.
This product is one of the best for decks. https://amzn.to/2WC4PkV
If the boards are worn and cracked, please skip the pressure washer as you’ll only further damage the wood. Flipping them over is good. Try a deck cleaner/brightener.
A deck builder told me not to use pressure washers; he recommended a good cleaner with a firm scrub brush, followed up by a regular garden hose set to "jet."
Hi Thomas, hope these ideas help you out,
