Paragon’s Premier Deck is nearly a
maintenance-free product. If cleaning is necessary, use water, a brush
with a mild detergent. The
Vinyl Window and Door Institute published the following findings as
a result of their study on cleaning similar products:
- Wash using a soft cloth or soft bristle brush.
- Leaves and similar matter can be blown off with a leaf blower.
- A garden hose and spray nozzle will remove dirt and similar
materials.
- For difficult to remove dirt and stains, use these household
cleaners:

- Avoid using mildly abrasive
cleaners, such as Soft Scrub, Ajax, Bon Ami, Comet, etc. as they
may damage the decking surface. If necessary to use, be extremely
careful to avoid damaging or scratching the deck surface.
- Do not use cleaners containing
aggressive organic solvents because they could affect the surface
appearance of the deck. Chlorine bleach, liquid grease remover,
strong soaps, detergents containing organic solvents, nail polish
remover, diesel and similar solvents and furniture polish/cleaners
are examples of cleaners that should not be used.
|
| Before using commercial cleaning products or pressure
cleaning systems, test on the underside of a deck plank or a on a
scrap piece of decking. |
