Care & Maintenance
To keep your TimberTec AZEK Deck/Porch looking
its best:
• To remove rust stains, use a household cleaner such
as Krud Kutter “the must for rust”.
• Avoid the use of rubber-backed mats, tarps, pool toys,
and other non-porous items on the deck/porch for
any extended period of time as these items may cause
discoloration to the decking surface.
• Some products, such as sunblock and insect repellent,
contain chemicals that may alter the surface of AZEK
Deck, Porch, Rim Joist Covers, & Riser. Check product
labels and consult with the manufacturer as to product
compatibility with plastic materials, such as AZEK
Deck, Porch, Rim Joist Covers, & Riser, prior to use on
or near AZEK Deck/Rim Joist Covers.
• Do not get any PVC glue or similar product on the
surface of any AZEK Decking/Porch Product as it may
discolor and permanently damage the surface.
• To clean AZEK Deck/Porch, use an all-surface deck
cleaner or another all-purpose cleaner such as
Chomp
®
Gutter cleaner, Zep
®
505, Simple
®
Green or
Krud Kutter
®
Cleaner/Degreaser with a stiff natural
fiber brush.
• Always read the cleaning product manufacturers
specific information before using any product on your
AZEK Deck and follow their instructions. It is also
a good idea to test the cleaner on a scrap piece or
inconspicuous area of the deck to make sure it does
not harm the surface.
• WARNING: Keep children and pets away from cleaning
products and AZEK Deck until dry.
• *Note that composite deck cleaners such as Corte
Clean
®
, Thompson’s
®
Water Seal
®
Oxy Action,
Olympic
®
Premium Deck Cleaner, or other cleaners
specified as composite deck cleaners, in powder or
liquid form, SHOULD NOT be used with AZEK Deck/
Porch. AZEK Deck/Porch is a PVC/polymer deck
plank and not a wood/plastic composite.
• Store products under cover to maintain a clean
surface.
• If stored outdoors, they must be covered with a non-
translucent material.
Ice and Snow:
• As with any walking surface, AZEK deck products
may become slippery in Winter weather. Take
caution when walking on the your AZEK deck in
these conditions.
• For ice removal, most products containing calcium
chloride can be used without damage to the deck/
porch surface.
• These products may leave a white residue which can
be cleaned using the cleaning guidelines above.
• Metal shovels or plastic shovels with a metal leading
edge may damage the surface of AZEK Deck and
are not recommended for clearing snow from deck/
porch surface.
