Get ready to fall in love with your deck all over again with our top picks for the best deck cleaning services in Tauranga!

1. Wash Rite Tauranga

Address: 13 McLean Street

Phone: +64 800 101 216
Business hours:

• Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours

Website

Wash Rite Tauranga has a very impressive portfolio for its deck cleaning service. Several people mentioned that their decks looked brighter, cleaner, and almost like new once they finished the job.

They also clean the surrounding concrete area. It’s a bonus, especially for anyone who wants their outdoor space to look consistent and well-kept. 

We also love their approach to timber care. Many homeowners worry about harsh cleaning methods damaging their deck, but their soaps are specifically designed to clean the timber fibres without stripping them.

On top of that, they also offer staining or oiling once the deck is clean. This way, you can finish it off in whatever colour or style you like.

The only downside we noticed was their website. When we tried to use the online quote tool, it didn’t work. 

You can still call or contact them, but fixing that online system would make things a lot easier for new customers. 

Communication was excellent throughout

“We recently had our home washed by Wash Rite Tauranga and were really impressed with the results. The team was prompt, professional, and did a thorough job. Communication was excellent throughout, and they were able to fit us in earlier than expected. Highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and quality house wash!”

We were very pleased with the outcome

“I contacted Michael for a quote to clean our spouting, deck, permanent awning and windows. He was engaging, professional and reliable. We were very pleased with the outcome, and we will certainly use Michael and his team again. Thanks, guys.”

2. Spotless Hygiene

Phone: 0800 40 7768
Business hours:

• Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours

Website

When we looked into Spotless Hygiene’s deck cleaning service, we were impressed with how focused they are on both safety and aesthetics.

Decks can get slippery fast due to algae, lichen, and moss. While many cleaning companies simply hose things down, Spotless Hygiene actually takes a more thorough approach. 

They use their own formula, which doesn’t just clean the wood but sanitises it too. 

The company seems genuinely results-driven. Customers have mentioned that the team doesn’t cut corners. 

What we appreciated the most was that they’re fully insured and follow Health & Safety regulations. It may sound like standard practice, but not every local operator invests in doing things by the book.

That said, we noticed something they could improve. For instance, they market themselves as being contactable 24/7. However, when we tried calling them at night, we didn’t get a reply until the next morning.

It’s not a dealbreaker, but we think it’s better to be clear about realistic response hours rather than set expectations too high. 

Really reasonable price and great service

“Highly recommend! Did an exterior clean of our house and it looks great. Really reasonable price and great service. 5 stars!”

3. CG Solutions

Phone: +64 27 229 0520
Business hours:

• Monday to Friday: 8 AM – 5 PM
• Saturday to Sunday: Closed

Website

It became clear to us why people kept recommending CG Solutions for deck cleaning services. Customer often say their decks looked much better than expected after a clean. 

In one case, the timber colour was restored so clearly that it looked brand new. For us, that speaks volumes about both the equipment used and the care they give.

Instead of blasting decks with high pressure, they use a softer wash with low to medium pressure. This means the timber is cleaned properly without damaging it.

We also love how they use eco-friendly products. These are safer for your garden, pets, and surrounding areas. It feels like they care about doing the job the right way, not just the fastest way.

Another plus is that they cover more than just decks. They also clean driveways, roofs, and even machinery, so you can get multiple areas done in one go.

The only drawback we noticed is that replies to messages can be a bit slow. It’s not a huge issue, but if you’re in a hurry to book, it might take longer than you’d like.

They did an amazing job from start to finish

“We have used CG solutions twice now, once at our business and a second time to clean our deck and driveway. They did an amazing job from start to finish and left everything immaculate! Would highly recommend, and great value for money!”

Daniel Truman, Google review

It came up so well, even better than expected

“We had Callum from CG Solutions pressure wash our deck and it came up so well, even better than expected. You can see the natural colour of the timber again so it looks brand new & ready for spring. Easy to deal with and super thorough. Would definitely recommend.”

4. Chemwash Exterior Cleaning Tauranga

Address: 42M Koromiko Street, Judea

Phone: +64 7 578 4559
Business hours:

• Monday to Saturday: 8 AM – 6 PM
• Sunday: Closed

Website

Instead of blasting with high pressure, Chemwash Exterior Cleaning has a different way for deck cleaning. They use a special detergent that’s strong enough to clean off dirt, mould, and that weathered grey look. It’s also still gentle enough to protect the timber.

From what we’ve seen, it can make an old deck look much closer to its original colour. 

A big plus is that their method also makes the deck less slippery, which is great for safety. It leaves the surface ready if you want to repaint or stain it. 

We like their annual cleaning plans as well. You can set up all the jobs you want done for the year, like deck cleaning, gutters, or even pest control. They’ll schedule everything, so it’s perfect if you don’t like to be in so much hassle.

Many people also commented on how efficient the staff were and how good their decks looked afterwards. The team on-site always gets praised for being professional and approachable.

However, we did come across someone who was promised before-and-after photos but never got them. It seems communication can slip now and then.

Great job and much appreciated

“Fast, efficient, no fuss service. Great job and much appreciated. Decks look amazing. Secure in knowing property is being well maintained with Chemwash providing all the hard labour.”

5. Sun Softwash

Address: 1 Pohutukawa Way, Gate Pa

Phone: +64 800 837 372
Business hours:

• Monday to Saturday: 7 AM – 9 PM
• Sunday: Closed

Website

Sun Softwash uses soft washing, which is gentle on delicate surfaces but strong enough to remove dirt and grime from decks. They also use eco-friendly products, which is great for families and pets.

What’s really convenient is that they can handle a lot in one visit—deck cleaning, gutters, windows, and even spider and insect sprays. Many other companies can’t do all of this in a single day.

On top of that, they offer discounts if you combine multiple services. We think it’s a really good value if you need more than just your deck cleaned.

Customers love their attention to detail. They respond quickly to quotes, communicate well, and are very professional. 

However, one thing to note is their popularity. They are often fully booked, so planning ahead is important if you want to secure a spot.

This is the only company I have found that could do everything!

“Brilliant people, brilliant job and brilliant prices. I could not be happier with the service received, nothing was too much trouble and… this is the only company I have found that could do everything! Everyone else that quoted was unable to offer at least one of my requirements (gutters, house wash, windows inside and out, spider spray and deck jet wash); Sun Softwash did the lot in one day.”

Emma Fray, Google review

Very pleased with the communication & service from Sun Soft Wash!

“Very pleased with the communication & service from Sun Soft Wash! Friendly, thorough & customer satisfaction focused. Who works on a Sunday afternoon? They did – and with a smile! NZ needs more people/businesses like this  – brilliant work ethic. We will be using them to clean the exterior & roof of our work premises, and later my deck.”
