Dirty paw prints on deck would polyurethane help this?

Question

I stained my deck a nice darker brown color. But my German Shepherd is leaving paw prints all over it (a lighter brown mud color). I can't even sweep it off, I'd have to scrub it off with broom and water I suppose. But don't have time for that every day. So my question is, would a top coat help to keep dirt from sticking on the wood?

Answer 1

Yes, a polyurethane sealant is going to make it considerably easier to clean.
