How to Clean Composite Decking

When your deck perfectly complements your outdoor living space, you’re likely to spend many leisurely hours enjoying it. But after a long winter and torrential spring rains, your deck may be looking a little worse for the wear. Follow along to learn how to best clean your composite decking.

Use the Proper Cleaning Supplies

If your deck isn’t too covered in grime, then soap and water will do the job just fine. Otherwise, you may want to purchase a composite deck cleaner to ensure your deck will come out squeaky clean. If you are using a store-bought product, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use.

How to Clean

No two decks are the same, but as a general rule of thumb, you should always sweep the deck and pre-rinse it before beginning the actual cleaning process. Then, spray with soapy water and scrub the deck using a soft-bristled brush. If you encounter any mold or mildew, you may need to use a vinegar and baking soda solution to get rid of the buildup.

Avoid Common Mistakes

Make sure you use the appropriate tools and products for the best results. You’ll want to pay special attention to any cleaning solutions you decide to use; anything containing bleach is to be avoided. Also, remember to clean the gaps in between your deck’s planks.

From start to finish we enjoyed working with Nathan and the team at Calcon. Nathan helped us envision and design the new deck. He was thoughtful throughout the design process about space, budget, practical use of the space and materials. The Calcon team showed up on time, and they are clearly committed to excellence. Their workmanship is excellent. On time, on budget and on spec excellence from Calcon. Thank you Nathan and your team of builders.

Nathan built Patio cover and deck for us and quality of his workmanship is excellent. He is very professional and and has eye for details. What I liked about him compared to others which I got the quote was that he explained in detail the engineering, he knows his work. He really cares on the architecture details and makes sure, that it fits and aligns well with current building architecture. He is a great contractor and would recommend him for projects. I will definitely hire him for my future projects.

CalCon took on a huge project at our place in Anacortes, WA. He rebuilt a whole ocean facing deck, installed new railings/glass, rebuilt a pergola, and replaced wood with more resilient coastal material. He also added a deck drainage systems along with finishing under the decking. I highly recommend him for any deck project. His crew is very hard working and they did an absolute amazing job. Very competent contractor that has a great attention to detail and kept within the budget.

I recently had to have a large deck replaced. This is the 1st major job I have had to do since the loss of my husband. Being a bit leary of the process and where to go, I contacted Nathan for a bid. He was quick to get back to me and when I explained I would like it done prior to June, he worked my project into his schedule and it is now complete. His care and patience with me through it all was very much appreciated. He and the crew did a great job and clean-up after was well done. I would highly recommend them.

I was very impressed with Nathan from the start who was confident and willing to take on a difficult job replacing our deck that no one else wanted to touch. He was consistently on time, kept the job site organized, and had a strong crew who knew what they were doing and worked well together. I am very pleased with the results so far. We have one more phase of work still to complete and I look forward to enjoying the finished product. Would highly recommend.

Nathan and I had a detailed discussion and agreement before I signed the contract for my 800 sq ft deck. He and his crew performed the job beyond my expectations. I rate them: Communication A+, Quality A+, Engineering and Design A+. I highly recommend Calcon .

Nathan and his crew did an exceptional job building a deck for our new home! It was everything we expected and more. Nathan has a wonderful eye for design and helped guide me with the colors and location. I’m excited to use them again when we’re ready for a deck cover!

Great crew. Super efficient and able to work through any inevitable issues with minimal fuss. We designed a massive 2 part deck and they delivered - including replacement of rotted out elevated deck. See attached pictures for scale.
