PROBLEM SOLUTION

Clean deck to remove dirt and debris. Soap and water is all that is needed.

Most colored chalks are permanent. Use Irwin

Dust-Off Marking Chalk (SKU 244-3224), available at your local Menards

Tannin leaching occurs naturally in UltraDeck

and all wood-based products. Allow for at least 12 weeks of normal weathering for spots

to disappear.

Scuffs and abrasions can fade or disappear naturally after 12-16 weeks of weathering.

Use soap and water to clean your deck. If further cleaning is needed, use Wolman™ DeckBrite

(SKU 553-9932), available at your local Menards

Dirt and Debris

Chalk Lines

Water Spots, Leaf Staining

and Wood Tannins

Scuffs and Abrasions

Rust Stains, Ground-In Dirt and

Grime and Pigment Staining

Semi-annual (spring and fall) cleaning of your deck is important to prevent buildup of pollen and other debris that can support mold growth.

If mold colonies appear, clean the deck with soap and water. If further cleaning is needed, use Wolman DeckBrite (SKU 553-9932), available at

your local Menards

. If the deck has not been cleaned regularly, it may require several washes to completely remove all mold colonies.

Mold and Mildew

A pressure washer may be used on your UltraDeck

deck. Use no more than 1500psi with a fan tip kept at least 12" away from the deck.

Using a Pressure Washer

Rinse the stain with hot water as soon as possible. To remove stains, use Oil Grabber (SKU 561-6025), available at your local Menards

Oil, Grease and Food

Sanding is not recommended. Sanding will change the appearance of the surface of UltraDeck

material and will void the warranty with respect

to any condition caused by the sanding.

Sanding

UltraDeck

should be periodically cleaned, at least twice a year, with soap and water or any product made for washing composite decking. Check out the how-to-video for cleaning

any UltraDeck

decking and railing products on ultradeck.com. For cleaning of more stubborn dirt and debris, follow these guidelines:

Ice and Snow

Non-corrosive and non-dyed varieties of ice melting substances should be selected for use on UltraDeck

products. Once the ice melting product has

melted unwanted ice, the remaining solids should be swept away. As with any surface, prolonged exposure to ice melting products can lead to a residue

appearing on the decking. Once warm weather permits, wash the deck of residue left by melted ice and snow. Never use a metal snow shovel, or shovel

with a metal edge on an UltraDeck

deck. The shovel may scratch the deck, which is not covered under warranty.

When using a ladder on composite decking, it is mandatory to lay down a sheet of plywood over the deck surface to disperse the load of the ladder's feet to

nearby underlying joists. The ladder's feet may scratch the deck, which is not covered under warranty. Drill fasteners downward through the top of the

plywood sheet to keep it from slipping. Position the fasteners so they adequately protrude and rest ﬁrmly in the gaps between the deck boards and into

the joists. This will avoid leaving holes in your decking once the plywood sheet is removed. Always follow the ladder manufacturer's instructions and

safety tips.

Using a Ladder

Using Patio Furniture

When using patio furniture on composite decking, make sure the furniture pieces have non-abrasive feet. Any damage caused by the abrasive feet is not

covered under warranty.

Cutting

Use Masterforce

composite decking blade ( SKU 252-6662 7⁄" or SKU 252-6663 10") for any cutting, available at your local Menards

Use BoWrench

board bending Tool (SKU 237-1995) to assist in setting gaps and fastening, available at your local Menards
