                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I'm staining a new deck made of red cedar that will be completed in 3 weeks. All told the lumber is about 6-8 weeks old since delivery from the lumber yard. I need to know if I can stain it as soon as it's done or if I need to wait a while (and if I do, how long should I wait). <br />
	<br />
	Also, what brand stain would you recommend and how many coats? And does a new deck really need to be cleaned or can I just simply hose it off?<br />
	<br />
	Deck Details:<br />
	<br />
	1. Minneapolis, MN (Northwest facing deck)<br />
	2. Half the deck gets full sun in the mid-afternoon and early evening hours; the other half is a screened in deck/porch so it's completely covered with a roof.<br />
	3. Red Cedar<br />
	4. No mold or mildew issues<br />
