TimberTech Deck Cleaning Do’s & Don’ts

Timbertech decking requires minimum maintenance.

Apart from regular inspections of your deck substructure to ensure its ongoing integrity, just follow these simple steps to keep your deck clean and looking its best for years to come.

DECKING: CLEANING DO’S & DON’TS

To prepare for cleaning current TimberTech Composite or Advanced PVC Decking collections, you’ll need water for rinsing (hose or power washer), the recommended brush for your decking with an extension handle, and TimberTech DeckCleaner™.

• DO clean in small, manageable areas, rinsing thoroughly before moving on to the next section.
• DO avoid getting TimberTech DeckCleaner on other surfaces, including glass, stainless steel, painted surfaces, plants, and vegetation. Thoroughly rinse surfaces immediately upon contact.
• DO use the recommended brush for your TimberTech decking.
• DO rinse decking thoroughly. A garden hose is all that’s required, but, if you like, you can use a power washer for rinsing only. Use a fan tip nozzle and a maximum pressure of 1,500 psi, and be sure to take proper safety precautions.
• DON’T let the cleaner dry on the surface — it will cause a white surface film that can be difficult to clean off.
• DON’T clean your deck in direct sunlight as the heat may cause the surface to dry before you’ve rinsed the cleaner away.
• DON’T use a stiff, natural fiber deck brush on TimberTech Composite Decking collections, as it can dull the surface
