To maintain the beauty of your Trex® outdoor furniture, a little care and cleaning goes a long way. All outdoor furniture requires cleaning and Trex outdoor furniture is no different. We recommend a semi-annual cleaning with soap-and-water or a gentle pressure washing. Learn how to care for your outdoor furniture by reading the information that applies to your product and get ready to enjoy maximum outdoor living with minimal maintenance.
Dirt And Debris
The affected area should be sprayed off with a hose to remove surface debris. Use warm, soapy water and a soft bristle brush to remove dirt and debris from the embossing pattern.
Chalk Lines
Most colored chalks are permanent. For Trex, use either baby powder or Irwin Strait-Line® Dust-Off Marking Chalk available at www.Irwin.com.
Tannins Due To Debris
Remove all debris from surface using a hose or broom. Once the surface is dry, apply a "brightener" to the furniture as directed by the manufacturer. Deck brighteners contain oxalic acid, which will remove tannins.
Ice And Snow
A small plastic shovel may be used to remove snow from the Trex outdoor furniture. Use calcium chloride or rock salt to melt the snow and ice from the furniture surface.
Oil/Grease/ Food
All food spills should be removed as soon as possible. The surface must be cleaned within seven days to maintain the stain warranty. To remove, spray off with a hose and use warm, soapy water and a soft bristle brush to remove spills from embossing pattern.
Mold And Mildew
If debris, such as pollen and dirt, is allowed to remain on the furniture surface, mold can feed on the biofilm. Using a hose and warm, soapy water with a soft bristle brush is recommended to remove the food source and mold.
Using A Pressure Washer
A pressure washer with no greater than 3100 PSI that has a fan attachment/adjustment and soap dispenser may be used to remove dirt, concrete dust, or other types of construction dirt. Spray furniture with soap, then follow by gently scrubbing each board with a soft bristle brush. Spray/rinse each individual board using fan tip no closer than 8" from the surface.
Rinse Thoroughly
If dirty water from cleaning is left to dry, this will cause a film to remain on the furniture surface.
