Annual Cleaning (1-2 times per year)

• Sweep off leaves and debris

• Use soft-bristle brush for stubborn spots
• Rinse thoroughly with garden hose

Stain Removal

• Grease/oil: Dish soap or degreaser
• Wine/berry stains: Deck cleaner or oxygen bleach
• Mold/mildew: Mild bleach solution (check manufacturer recommendations)

What NOT to Do

• Don't use pressure washers above 1,500 PSI (can damage surface)
• Don't use metal shovels for snow removal (plastic shovels only)
• Don't use abrasive cleaners or steel wool
