Maintaining the beauty and lifespan of your Deckorators Vault composite deck requires regular cleaning and proper care. To keep your deck looking its best, follow these guidelines:
- Routine Cleaning: Regularly clean your deck to remove dirt and debris. Use a mild soap and water solution, applying it with a soft-bristle brush or sponge. Gently scrub the surface, and then rinse thoroughly.
- Avoid Aggressive Cleaners: Steer clear of harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, and pressure washers, as these can harm the deck's surface and finish.
- Address Stains Promptly: Clean up spills and stains immediately to prevent them from setting into the composite material. Act quickly with common culprits like grease, oil, and food.
- Managing Mold and Mildew: If mold or mildew appears, a solution of water and bleach (a ratio of 3 parts water to 1 part bleach) can be used to clean the affected areas. After cleaning, be sure to rinse thoroughly.
- Heat Source Precautions: Take care with heat sources such as grills and fire pits near your deck to avoid damage from excessive heat.
- Regular Deck Inspections: Periodically check your deck for any signs of damage, warping, or discoloration. Addressing issues promptly will help prevent further deterioration.
Following these steps, based on the Deckorators Vault Composite Deck Board Instruction Manual, will help ensure your Deckorators Vault composite deck boards remain in excellent condition for years to come.
