April 23, 2025

If you own a wood deck, you probably dread cleaning before family gatherings or a barbecue. (Not to mention other time- and cost-intensive wood maintenance like sanding, sealing, and staining!) But if you have a composite deck, you probably don’t even bat an eye at the thought of cleaning and maintenance.

Composite decks are engineered to last longer with fewer maintenance requirements. But, as with all finer things, you still need to ensure they withstand the test of time. In other words, you need to learn how to clean composite decking the right way.

The good news is that because of their high-performance design and durable material composition, composite decks don’t need to be sanded or stained for protection, making them less expensive to maintain than wood decks. A composite deck just needs to be periodically cleaned with the right cleaning methods, cleaner, and brush — a safe and straightforward afternoon job when following our cleaning guide.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to properly clean and maintain TimberTech Advanced PVC and Composite Decking in six steps:

  1. Clear the deck
  2. Remove debris
  3. Prepare the cleaner
  4. Section off the deck
  5. Clean and rinse the deck
  6. Dry the deck
