Terrain, Tropical & Legacy Collections Recommended products Congratulations on your new TimberTech® Deck. We know you want to keep it clean and looking its best, so here are a few guidelines on the best products and methods to use to keep your TimberTech Deck looking great. These recommended products can be purchased at most hardware stores including Lowe’s and Home Deport as well as online.
Terrain, Tropical & Legacy Collections Cleaning procedures In preparation for spot cleaning as well as full surface cleaning, you will need a bucket of water, one of the recommended scrub brushes with an extension handle and one of the recommended cleaners. Work in small manageable areas. Avoid cleaning in direct sunlight, the UV and heat will dry the surface quickly as you attempt to clean. Saturate the area with one of the recommended cleaners and allow the cleaner to soak for 30-60 seconds.
TwinFinish , ReliaBoard & DockSider Collections ® ® ™ Recommended products & procedures Although TimberTech® products are low-maintenance, we recommend periodic cleaning to help maintain the beauty of the product. TwinFinish, ReliaBoard and DockSider are composite products, and cleaning is not the same as for capped composite products. These recommended products can be purchased at many hardware stores including Lowe’s and Home Deport as well as online.
TwinFinish , ReliaBoard & DockSider Collections ® ® ™ Dirt, Grime, Tannin and Mildew Stains TimberTech® wood/plastic composite products are formulated to inhibit mildew growth and minimize staining. Rinse off your TimberTech products periodically with a hose. Even if it appears clean, it is important to prevent build-up of pollen/debris. Mildew stains may occur where moisture, pollens and/or dirt are present.
TimberTech Decking ® Other considerations To keep your TimberTech deck looking its best, here are a few additional things to consider. Depending on environmental conditions, TimberTech product colors may appear to weather over time as part of the natural weathering process. Heat Buildup Please be aware that excessive heat build on the surface of TimberTech products from external sources such as, but not limited to, fire or reflection of sunlight can potentially lead to damage.
TimberTech Decking ® Other considerations Ice Removal As with any walking surface, TimberTech decking products may become slippery in winter weather. Take caution when walking on your TimberTech deck in these conditions. 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.
