CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS
PROBLEM FORTRESS SOLUTION
Ice removal
Heat sources and re
Rubber/vinyl/latex mats
Construction chalk
Tape marks
Allow ice to melt then wipe away.
Calcium chloride or rock salt work well in melting ice. A buildup of
calcium chloride or rock salt may occur leaving a white residue.
This can be easily removed with warm soapy water and a soft
non-metal brush or hard bristled broom.
Never use metal objects, such as a metal shovel to remove ice or
snow from boards.
WPC products may retain heat when situated close to heat
and re sources. Proper caution should be taken when Innity
Decking is installed near heat sources and re to ensure no
damage occurs to the deck.
Rubber mats such as welcome or grill mats with rubber or
latex backing can leave marks on your deck. These marks
can be removed with soapy water; however it is best to use
vinyl-backed mats or colorfast woven rugs to avoid any marks.
Colored chalk often used in construction, can leave permanent
marks on most surfaces. Where possible, avoid the use of such
chalk on Innity Decking or use alternatives such as white chalk
or baby powder.
Apply warm, soapy water with a sponge, then brush with a
hard-bristled broom or spray with a high pressure hose.
Note: The above conditions are considered to be normal maintenance and are therefore not covered by the
Innity 25-year limited warranty.
DECKS AROUND POOLS
It is important to maintain a clean, healthy pool in order to ensure the life and look of your Fortress Innity Deck. Pool water may have
an eect on your deck, especially if it is unbalanced. Pool water balancing is simply the relationship between dierent chemical
measurements in your pool water. You will probably not change the water in your pool for many years. Continuous ltration and
disinfection removes contaminants which keep the water enjoyable but this is does not balance your water.
A swimming pool that is balanced has proper levels of pH, Total Alkalinity and Calcium Hardness. Maintaining a healthy, clean pool
and making sure your pool has balanced levels will ensure the water will have little to no eect on your deck’s surface.
As good practice in swimming pool maintenance and hygiene, it is suggested that you regularly test your swimming pool water to
ensure that the pH, mineral content and saturation index of your pool water is maintained correctly and within recommended levels. If
your swimming pool water is not correctly maintained and the waters pH is not controlled as per recommended standards and ranges,
it is likely that a high acidity or alkalinity environment can adversely aect your deck surface and its appearance. These environments
are very corrosive and aggressive to most materials and colors, UV absorbers, plastic materials and will also lead to damage,
discoloration or scaling of your pool cleaning equipment.
