Composite Deck Cleaning

 The composite decking pictured in the center is an example of how a brown deck can turn gray.  
The brown you see is the original color. These decks can turn so gradually over the course 
of a few years that sometimes people aren't even aware it's happening.

                                                  Composite decks are different than wood decks when it comes to maintenance cleaning. Although they're  "supposed" to be easily cleaned with soap and water, this is far from the truth in many cases. We have done numerous composite decks over the years where the customer thought part of a composite decks beauty is the fact of easy care. And they weren't very pleased with not being able to clean it themselves,..they sometimes feel mislead,..by the product and/or the contractor. Composite materials, and the binding adhesives are food for mildew and mold, and the mold penetrates deeper into the material, making them more challenging for the average DIY'er  to get the best results. 

                                                  When a composite deck gets blotchy with mold,..soap and water are now out as a viable cleaner of the material. And aside from soap and water, many customers have gone after the mold and dirt with a pressure washer. This is a BIG mistake, because a big misconception about composites is they are a tough material.  But, they are very easily damaged with a pressure washer used at high PSI and/or the wrong nozzle and the overall use of the machine. Pressure treated decks are repairable if damaged, composite is not repairable and you have what you have after it's been damaged.   Composite decks need to be chemically treated and then using  high flow at a responsible PSI and knowledgeable user to rinse away the dirt and dead mold,..Damage Free

*There are numerous brands and qualities of material used for composite decking, some are better than others. Most that I'have seen prefer to be under roof, and not exposed to UV rays.
