CLEANING & CARE INSTRUCTIONS
GeoDeck is easy to clean. Most stains can be removed
with a general-purpose household cleaner and/or degreaser.
The use of an industrial cleaner or rubbing alcohol
along with a wire brush is recommended for stubborn
stains.
Removing Dirt, Dust, and Scratches
Simply use a wire brush to remove dirt, dust or scratches.
A few strokes along the grain will most likely refresh
the GeoDeck board. Also, fine-grit sandpaper can be
used to touch up any remaining remnants on the surface.
Removing Oily Stains
For oily stains-gasoline, butter, mayonnaise, etc.-use
a degreaser along with a scrubbing sponge. You can also
apply rubbing alcohol with a scouring pad.
After you've applied the cleaning treatment, there
might be a whitish area where you applied the rubbing
alcohol and scouring pad. To fully restore the board,
apply a few strokes along the grain with a wire brush
and the dust produced from the scouring pad should be
removed.
Removing Microbial Stains
Microbial stains-such as algae and black mold-do not
damage GeoDeck boards. For the most part, algae and
black mold sit on the surface and consume pollen without
degrading the board. To clean microbial stains, simply
use common detergents, powerwash, bleach,
or specially formulated composite deck cleaners.
Caring for Tongue & Groove Boards
Powerwashing GeoDeck's Tongue & Groove boards will
improve cleaning results. Spray should be consistent
with the grain of the product. Be careful not to damage
the boards and take proper safety precautions when operating
a powerwasher.
