Composite Decking Care & Maintenance

Care Instructions

Proper care is essential for maintaining the beauty and longevity of your composite decking. Here are some key care instructions:

  • Regularly sweep debris off the deck surface to prevent scratches.
  • Use a gentle soap and water solution for routine cleaning.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Remove snow and ice with a plastic shovel to prevent damage.

Cleaning Tips

Keeping your composite decking clean is easy with these cleaning tips:

  • For stubborn stains, use a composite deck cleaner recommended by the manufacturer.
  • Scrub the affected area gently with a soft-bristled brush or sponge.
  • Rinse thoroughly with water after cleaning to remove any residue.

Sealing Recommendations

While composite decking doesn't require sealing like wood decks, some homeowners choose to apply a protective sealant to enhance durability and color retention.

If you decide to seal your composite deck, make sure to choose a high-quality product specifically formulated for composite materials.

Repairs & Troubleshooting

Despite being highly durable, composite decking may require repairs over time. Here's what to do:

  • Replace damaged boards promptly to prevent further deterioration.
  • Use a composite decking repair kit for minor scratches and gouges.
  • Contact XMT Construction for professional repair services and troubleshooting.
