Once our Ecowood deck are installed, periodic cleaning is necessary to keep the deck looking great. For dirt, dust and other residue, simply sweep with a broom. If necessary, wash the deck down in the direction of the grain with a garden hose or a pressure washer.
Additional Tips
- Dragging furniture and other objects across the deck boards may cause surface scratches.
- Keep the area under your deck clean and well ventilated.
- Always test any cleaner on a small portion of your deck before cleaning the entire deck.
- Remove food, spills and other debris and clean immediately to minimize the possibility of staining.
- Please note that any cleaner can lighten the color of your deck.
- Place mats under metal objects to protect against rust stains.
- Never mix two or more cleaning agents when cleaning your deck.
- Do not use a metal shovel to remove snow or ice from your deck, as you may cause damage to the deck surface.
- Always follow proper gapping (installation) instructions to prevent water from accumulating on your deck.
- Never apply harsh solvents such as acetone, gasoline, benzene, carbon tetrachloride or paint thinner to your deck.
