Spruce Up that Wooden Bridge for Spring There is a beautiful college in my area that I love to walk around with my dog. A lake is the center point of the school. A small island sits in the middle of campus, connected by two wooden bridges. Over the years, I’ve noticed the wood turn grey and a light green from mold in a few places. For a school that takes great pride in its appearance, its bridges are in need of some TLC. Just like any other exterior wood surface, wooden bridges need to be maintained regularly. Due to their close proximity to water in many places, they sometimes need to be cleaned and sealed more often than a deck. Take this example from our Johnson County location for example.
This cart path bridge on a local golf course was in bad shape. Over time the wood weathered and turned grey. Additionally, the bridge got both foot and cart traffic, which embedded dirt in the surface. In the middle of such a gorgeous space, it stood out as sub-par (like what I did there?). Using our deck cleaning process, the Renew Crew of Johnson County team was able to bring the bridge back to its originally beautiful state. Since this bridge traverses a creek, the property owners were nervous about the products contaminating the water and killing any of the fish and animals that live within it. Most wood cleaning products do have harsh chemicals in them that could harm plants and animals, but ours don’t. Renew Crew’s proprietary wood cleaner and protectant is environmentally friendly and won’t damage or hurt plants and animals that may come in contact with it, making it perfect for cleaning bridges. The finished product looks great and leaves its surroundings as is. 
Decks, bridges, walkways, patios and other outdoor surfaces need to be regularly cleaned, especially on commercial properties. Commercial properties usually have more traffic than residential and thus the seals can wear away more quickly and the dirt can start to dig into the materials. If your property needs some attention, contact your local Renew Crew location.
