We have an untreated, unstained wood deck that has some grease stains near the BBQ area. Would like to know how to revive the deck. It is 3 years old. Thanking you in advance for your response. - Linda Cowburn

Use a,degreaser cleaner with a scrub brush on that area . Power wash entire deck. If not smooth sand. Use a penetrating deck stain. Will make it like new again. Use a cheap outdoor rug under your grill area, just toss it at the end of the season if too grimy.
Hi Linda. Use a pressure washer to clean your deck. It should come back looking new again. If you don't own a pressure washer, you can rent one from your local home improvement store. For the grease stains, I recommend Krud Kutter. It's a degreaser that works very well. You can purchase it at Wal Mart, Home Depot, or on Amazon for approx. $7. p.s. if any of your deck boards have splinters, cracks, or any other damage, just unscrew it, take it off and flip it over, and screw it back down. Good luck Linda.
I would use Dollar Tree Awesome Degreaser on the spots and then power wash it. Then I would use an oil-based stain on it.... like Olympia.
.thank you all for your great replies. I'll give it a go very soon.
