If the balcony or terrace is free of garden furniture and potted plants in winter, it is particularly easy to clean and, if necessary, replace it.
In winter, it usually looks a bit dreary on the balcony and terrace: balcony furniture is wrapped up or stowed away in the basement and the plants that can still endure the cold are usually wrapped in fleece or other winter protection.
So the perfect time to dedicate yourself to the floor.

Temperatures below zero for days?
Then these are not good conditions.
It's better to wait until it's frost-free for a few days.
As
My Beautiful Garden
reports, you should inspect the joints of the decking.
If the decking is porous or brittle, it's time to remove the old grout with a scraper before treating the decking with a pressure washer.
Then distribute the new grout by spreading it over the surface with a special wiper.
Even balconies and terraces that have no surface, but only consist of painted concrete, can be cleaned in winter.
Vinegar water is particularly effective at removing dirt, bird droppings, and other stains.
Winter is also a good time to offer food to animals.
Feeding stations can be installed on the balcony.
