• Today's consumers are realizing that no wood or
  wood product presented to the weather is going to
  be absolutely maintenance-free. Even exotic woods
  need periodic cleaning and sealing as the
  essential oils within the wood dry out. All
  exterior timber used in deck building should be
  continued every year to protect it from the
  components and ground in dirt.

• Composite Decking varies from company to company,
  but it seems that all of the popular ones contain
  wood particles. That means that any of these
  particles on or near the exterior of the board,
  no matter what they are combined with, will react
  to Mother Nature the same way all wood does.
  Companies are getting calls every day from end
  users about these issues, and deck reconstruction
  contractors are stepping in with the fix.

• Cleaning WPC Decking is necessary to keep the
  material looking its best. Well, cleaning
  composite decks should be done with a composite
  wood cleaner that is created specifically for
  these unique materials. Some manufacturers have
  suggested using bleach or oxygenated bleach to
  clean the wood, but the outcomes have been varied

• The cleaning process
• Apply your composite deck flooring cleaner on the
  rails and floor in soft sections. Cleaning too
  large of an area at a time may allow the
  composite cleaner to dry on the outside which can
  cause splotch in some materials. Once the
  composite cleaner has sat on the surface
  according to the directions, particularly power
  wash the surface in the direction of the grain,
  using less than 800 PSI. Use the pressure washer
  to "rinse" the surface.

• Avoid holding the nozzle too tight to the
  composite surface or locking it in any one spot
  too long. Keeps the wand moving easily over the
  surface to avoid leaving marks. The proper
  technique determines the results, so take some
  time to practice when you are able to. Once you
  have finished that section, treat the next area
  and continue until the job is completed.
