Professional deck cleaning that actually protects your investment without the damage that comes from rental equipment and guesswork.
Hear from Our Customers
Your deck stops being a liability and starts being the outdoor space you actually want to use. No more avoiding barefoot walks because of splinters from damaged wood. No more embarrassment when guests come over and see that green, slippery mess.
The mold disappears completely—not just the surface layer that comes back in three weeks. Your deck looks years newer, feels safe underfoot, and you can finally enjoy your outdoor investment without worrying about what’s growing underneath.
Most importantly, you’re not replacing deck boards in two years because someone with a pressure washer from Home Depot thought “more pressure equals cleaner.”
Blue Ridge Exterior Cleaning brings over three decades of experience to every deck cleaning project in Grottoes and throughout Central Virginia. We’re certified by industry leaders including Spray Wash Pro, Spray Wash Academy, and the National Soft Wash Alliance—credentials that matter when your deck’s longevity is on the line.
As a locally owned company, we operate on old-fashioned values: you get a real person when you call, clear communication throughout the process, and in-person delivery of materials and invoices. We’ve developed innovative cleaning processes, including specialized cork-safe methods for area wineries, proving our commitment to solving unique challenges.
In Grottoes, where Virginia’s humid climate creates perfect conditions for mold and algae growth, having a company that understands both the science of cleaning and the importance of preserving your deck’s integrity makes all the difference.
Our process starts with a thorough assessment of your deck’s material and condition. Wood, composite, and Trex all require different approaches—something most companies either don’t know or don’t bother with.
We apply specialized cleaning solutions designed to break down mold, algae, and embedded dirt without stripping away protective finishes or damaging wood fibers. This isn’t the “spray and pray” approach you’ll get from most pressure washing companies.
The cleaning itself uses controlled pressure and proper techniques. For wood decks, this means staying under 500 PSI with wide fan tips. For composite materials, it means soft washing methods that remove contaminants without creating the streaking and damage that high pressure causes.
After cleaning, we inspect the entire surface to ensure complete mold and algae removal. You’re not paying for a surface cleaning that looks good for a month—you’re getting treatment that addresses the root of the problem.

Complete mold, mildew, and algae removal using industry-approved cleaning solutions. Surface preparation that removes embedded dirt and organic growth without damaging wood fibers or composite materials. Proper pressure techniques based on your deck’s specific material—never the one-size-fits-all approach that damages half the decks in Grottoes.
In Virginia’s climate, where spring pollen creates ideal conditions for organic growth and summer humidity accelerates mold development, timing matters. We understand when cleaning provides maximum benefit and how to prevent rapid re-growth.
You also get the expertise that comes from cleaning everything from historic properties to modern composite installations. This includes knowledge of which cleaning products work with different stains and sealers, how to handle problem areas like shaded sections where mold thrives, and when additional treatments are necessary for long-term protection.
Our service includes post-cleaning inspection to ensure complete treatment and guidance on maintenance timing to keep your deck in optimal condition between professional cleanings.
