Due to a broken collarbone, my usual scrubbing brush and elbow grease

know if
using a pressure washer will damage the wood?


Yes. It removes the soft part of the wood.


Is there a soft part, on teak?


Yes. Every boat owner knows not to use a high pressure hose to clean
teak fittings and decks.


Isn't that to avoid blasting out the caulking between planks? Or
don't they have caulking any more ?
