● When using soaps, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and test in an inconspicuous area or on an o-cut to make sure the
cleaner does not harm the deck surface.
● The use of cleaning products that contain bleach or acid are not recommended.
● Certain ingredients in products such as insect repellent and sunblock contain chemicals that could cause a reaction and harm your
deck’s surface. Please take care to ensure you keep these products away from your deck.
● Swimming pool chemicals can be harmful to your deck’s surface. If swimming pool PH levels are not kept normal the swimming
pool water can become highly saturated and create a corrosive environment which will damage the decking boards surface. Best
practice is to maintain a normal PH pool that does not have high saturation. If chemicals that are not for normal PH level balance in a
swimming pool are used on the deck they can stain or mark the deck. See ‘Decks around pools’ for more detailed info.
CLEANING YOUR DECK: USING A HARD-BRISTLED BROOM OR HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
What you will need:
- Soap/cleaner
- Water
- Bucket
- Sponge
- Hard-bristled broom
- A high pressure hose with fan tip
STEP 1:
Apply soapy water to your deck with a sponge.
STEP 2:
Sweep the liquid over your deck using the hard-bristled broom, making sure to remove all dirt and residue from the gaps between the
decking boards. Sweeping in the direction of the grain is best.
STEP 3:
If residue and/or dirt are still evident on your deck, a high pressure hose is very eective in removing stubborn and unavoidable organic
waste.
NB: Use a high pressure hose with a wide fan tip at pressures under 1500 psi. Remember to keep the hose at least 1¼” away from the
surface when spraying.
For best results, high pressure hose your deck while simultaneously brushing it with a hard-bristled broom and soapy water.
We recommend pressure washing your deck once a month to keep it looking clean and cared for.
Please exercise extreme caution as pressure washing can damage your Innity deck if done incorrectly. If you notice any changes to the
surface of your deck, stop immediately and contact Fortress Deck, visit www.FortressDeck.com or email [e-mail].
CARING FOR YOUR DECK
● Maintain a deck that is dry and clean.
● The best way to keep your deck free from stubborn stains is to clean them o as soon as they occur. Oil, grease and food should be
removed as soon as possible.
● Don’t let organic matter build up on your deck. Leaves and sticks that get stuck in gaps inhibit ventilation, natural movement and
retain moisture.
