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™. For specialty decking products, including ReliaBoard, TwinFinish, Earthwood, Floorizon, and DockSider, see the Specialty Decking section below.
Clean in small, manageable areas, rinsing thoroughly before moving on to the next section.
Avoid getting TimberTech DeckCleaner on other surfaces, including glass, stainless steel, painted surfaces, plants, and vegetation. Thoroughly rinse surfaces immediately upon contact.
Use the recommended brush for your TimberTech decking.
Rinse decking thoroughly.
A garden hosed is all that’s required, but, if you like, you can use a power washer for rinsing only. Use a fan tip noz- zle and a maximum pressure of 1,500 psi and be sure to take proper safety precautions.
One more reason to consider composite decks is their warranty. Not only does TimberTech offer a 30-year warranty against fading and staining, a 5-year warranty can be transferred to a new homeowner, which is an excellent advantage for resale value.
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.
