Care and Cleaning
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 
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.
