CARE AND UPKEEP FOR YOUR TANDECK SYSTEM

The beauty of a TanDeck alternative decking system is that there is virtually no maintenance necessary to keep it looking like new for years to come. Your deck will never need to be painted, stained or sealed.

About the only maintenance that is necessary is an occasional good washing to remove surface dirt and grime. You can use liquid dish soap with water applied with a brush to handle most spills. TanDeck is virtually stain proof - Coffee, barbeque sauce, a dropped hamburger, steak or even red wine will not stain TanDeck.

Listed below are some common questions and answers about TanDeck care. Please visit our FAQ section for additional information.

Will chemicals or other cleaners harm the TanDeck surface?

All house hold cleaners are safe for the TanDeck product.

What about power washing?

We do not recommend using a power washer on your TanDeck. The deck surface is tougher than a regular wood deck, but can be damaged if the pressure setting is too high. TanDeck is not warranted against damage done by power washing.

Should I worry about mold or mildew on TanDeck?

TanDeck is not made with wood additives like composite decking so it cannot grow mold within the product. Any surface if exposed to a dark and damp environment has the ability to have mold grow. If TanDeck is in this type of environment surface mold will grow on the outside surface, but can be easily cleaned with bleach based cleaners with no harmful effect to the TanDeck surface.

Should I be concerned about surface scratches on TanDeck ?

TanDeck is very durable and has high impact resistance. As in all floor products it can be scratched if abused.

Will the color of TanDeck products fade or change color rapidly once it is installed?

No, all TanDeck products have Ultra-Violet (UV) Stabilizers added to help protect the color and the integrity of the materials for years to come. More importantly, TanDeck is not made with any wood. Wood additives are the reason that composite decking is susceptible to fading after installation.
