How to Freshen Your Composite Deck
June 26, 2020
- Make a solution of bleach and water (1 part bleach to 3 parts water), pour it over the entire deck surface and wait for 20 minutes.
- Scrub the deck to remove all the mildew, and then rinse it thoroughly to get rid of all the bleach and residue.
- Gently sand the entire deck surface with #220 sandpaper.
- Wash the deck with an all-purpose cleaner to remove all the debris, then rinse it thoroughly.
- For Stain: Apply the stain you want to use. We recommend a high quality acrylic latex solid color stain, used especially for composite decking.
- For Paint: First, apply an exterior latex primer. Then, apply a good quality latex deck paint. (You can use either a satin or semi-gloss, but we recommend using higher gloss levels because they have better mildew resistance and are easier to clean.)
