Remove staining, mildew and old finish with a commercial deck cleaning solution. Pressure washing is almost always a must on older decks, but be sure not to use too much pressure. You can damage the wood if it's turned up too high. Usually 1500-2500 PSI is adequate for pressure treated lumber.
Letâs start with the formerâ¦. Sugar alcohols (also known as polyols) are, essentially, part sugar and part alcohol. They occur naturally in plants and common examples include xylitol, maltilol, and sorbitol.
I can say that sugar alcohols (all of the mentioned) DO raise blood sugar at least in patients with type 1 diabetes. I would caution people about the use of sorbitol. Many of the complications of diabetes occurs because of an accumulation of sorbitol intracellularly and in the interstitial fluids.
