Everyday Care and Maintenance
To maintain the beauty of your Bestdeck, regular cleaning is recommended. In most cases, soap and water will maintain the appearance of Bestdeck products. How frequently you clean your deck is dependent on a variety of factors including, deck location, deck surroundings and climate.
Rust, Ground-in Dirt and Grime
Use a cleaner that contains Phosphoric Acid to remove rust or difficult dirt stains. Commercial pressure washers can be used to remove ground-in dirt and mold or mildew (test with a low PSI first). Always pressure wash using cold water and maintain a safe distance (at least 12" away) from the deck to prevent damage.
Mildew
To prevent the buildup of airborne pollutants that can cause mold and mildew, wash your deck periodically using conventional deck washers or cleaners that contain Sodium Hypochlorite.
Spot Stains
For grease or oil stains, use a degreasing agent along with a scrubbing sponge as soon as the spill occurs. If the stain has set, you may use a fine sandpaper and sand lightly in the direction of the grain. The sanded area will weather back naturally.
Scuffs and Abrasions
These will fade naturally through normal weathering.
Ice and Snow
Use calcium chloride or rock salt to melt ice and snow. Be cautious when removing ice or snow from your deck; some tools may damage the surface of your deck.
