Use and Care Manual

General & Spot Cleaning
In preparation for cleaning you will need water for rinsing (hose or power washer), the recommended deck brush with an extension handle, and
TimberTech DeckCleaner
™
.
Important: Clean in small, manageable areas. Thoroughly rinse each area before moving onto the next section and do not let the cleaner dry on
the surface. Avoid cleaning in direct sunlight as the heat generated may cause the surface to dry quickly as you attempt to clean. Allowing the
cleaner to dry or not thoroughly rinsing will cause a white surface film that must be cleaned again.
Avoid getting TimberTech DeckCleaner on other surfaces, including glass, stainless steel, and painted surfaces. Thoroughly rinse surfaces
immediately upon contact.
A power washer can be used for RINSING ONLY with TimberTech Deck or Porch. The recommended maximum pressure is 1,500 psi. A fan tip
nozzle should be used. Spray in the direction of the grain pattern, never across the grain, to avoid damaging the product. Use caution not to
damage the material and always take proper safety precautions when operating a power washer.

Using the recommended brush and extension handle, scrub using
downward pressure; first scrubbing in the direction of the grain and
then against the grain working the cleaner into the surface texture.
DO NOT allow the treated area to dry before rinsing thoroughly as
this will allow dirt residue to dry in the surface texture.
Rinse the treated area with clean water. For best results, dry or
remove standing water with a towel or sponge mop. Then allow the
deck to air dry completely. Note that any residual cleaner residue
can leave a difficult to remove surface film. Always rinse thoroughly
and never allow the cleaner to dry or evaporate on the surface prior
to rinsing. For stubborn or missed areas, or areas where cleaner
may have dried, repeat the cleaning process.
1.
Shake well. Dilute TimberTech DeckCleaner mixing 1 part
cleaner to 3 parts water. One gallon of diluted cleaner will cover
approximately 1,000 square feet of surface area.
Working in one smaller area at a time, saturate with the diluted
cleaner and allow it to stand on the surface for 30-60 seconds. DO
NOT allow the cleaner to dry or evaporate before scrubbing. Avoid
cleaning in direct sunlight as the heat generated may cause the
surface to dry quickly as you attempt to clean. Rinse each section
thoroughly after scrubbing and before soaking the next section.
