CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Decking Tile is pre-treated with water-based wood strain to make the surface durable enough
for outdoor usage. The best way to extra the life of your Decking Tile is by cleaning it
correctly, not leaving it outdoors unprotected more than necessary and re-staining it on a
regular basis.
HOW TO CLEAN
Wipe clean with a soft cloth dampened in water and a mild soapy solution. Wipe dry with a
clean and dry cloth.
HOW TO MAINTAIN
You can easily refresh your Decking Tile and make it more durable by restaining it on a regular
basis, for example once a year. You may need to re-stain Decking Tile more frequently,
depending on the climate you live in and the Decking Tile’s exposure to sun and rain. Re-
staining prevents the surface from drying out and cracking and moisture from penetrating into
the wood.
HOW TO RE-STRAIN
Choose a place in the shade for cleaning, re-staining and leaving the Decking Tile to dry. Avoid
direct sunlight.
1. Wipe clean with a soft cloth dampened in water and a mild soapy solution, if necessary.
Wipe dry with a clean and dry cloth. Use
a soft brush to remove tougher stains. If necessary,
sand the surface with fine grade sandpaper. Be sure to sand it in the direction of the grain. Do
not use steel wool or a brush with metal bristles pieces of metal may become embedded in
the wood and rust. If wood fibres rise after cleaning, sand the surface with fine grade
sandpaper.
2. Shake the bottle well and apply a thin, even coat of stain to the furniture using a brush or
sponge. Apply on the entire surface at once and in the direction of the grain.
3. Water-based stain dries quickly so be sure to wipe off any excess with a dry cloth directly
after application. Wash brushes and your hands with soap and water.
HOW TO STORE
Before storing away for the season, clean it well and let it dry thoroughly. If possible, store
your Decking Tile in a cool and dry place indoors. If stored outside, put them under a roof if
possible and cover it with a protective cover. After a rain or snowfall, wipe off excess water or
snow especially from flat surfaces. Allow air to ventilate, to avoid moisture and mould.
NOTE!
To increase the stability of your furniture, re-tighten the screws at least once per season.
