beauty of the deck. Removing pollen and other debris from the deck surface, periodically, will help to reduce mold growth
on the biofilm.

General Dirt and Debris
The affected area should be sprayed off with a hose to remove surface debris. Use
warm soapy water and a soft bristle brush to remove dirt and debris from the
embossing pattern
Chalk Lines
High permanence chalk lines may discolor the surface. Use only Irwin Strait-line
dust off marking chalk (purple) available at irwin.com
Tannins Due to Debris
Remove all debris from deck using a hose or broom. Once the deck surface is
dry apply a “deck brightener” to the deck as directed by the manufacturer. Deck
brighteners contain Oxalic acid which will remove tannins.
Ice & Snow
A plastic shovel may be used to remove snow from the deck. Use Calcium
chloride or rock salt to melt the snow and ice from the deck surface.
Oil/Grease/Food
All food spills should be removed as soon as possible. The surface must be cleaned
within seven days to maintain the stain warranty. To remove, spray off with a hose
and use warm, soapy water and a soft bristle brush to remove spills from embossing
pattern.
Mold and Mildew If debris such as pollen and dirt is allowed to remain on the deck surface, mold can
feed on the biofilm. Using a hose and warm soapy water with a soft bristle brush
is recommended to remove the food source and mold.
Pressure Washer
A 1500psi power washer may be used on Transcend™ shell surface to remove
dirt and debris. Use a fan tip at least 4” away from the shell when using a power
washer.

Railing
Never use Acetone or other solvents on Trex Transcend™ railing to maintain the
beauty of the surface.
