Care & Maintenance
To keep your 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 ber brush.
• Always read the cleaning product manufacturers
specic 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.
