Deck Care
ChoiceDek® Cleaning Instructions PDF
With any flooring surface, especially in an outdoor environment, periodic cleaning is essential. This practice will help maintain the beauty of your deck.
General Cleaning:
1. Sweep off your deck surface, or blow off debris with a leaf blower. Keeping the deck surface dry prior to cleaning will allow the deck cleaner to work more efficiently.
2. Keep gaps between boards open and free of debris for proper drainage and airflow.
3. Use a general purpose deck cleaner with a clean pump up sprayer. Examples are Olympic® Deck Cleaner or Severe Weather® Deck Cleaner, which are available at Lowe's.
4. Spray and saturate the deck surface following manufacturer’s directions; let stand 15-20 minutes then rinse off.
5. For stubborn stains, additional cleaning and light brushing or scrubbing may be required.
