What can be used to clean rust, ground-in dirt and grime from my TimberTech deck?
Use a cleaner that contains Phosphoric Acid or Oxalic Acid. This type of cleaner is available at home centers, lumberyards or hardware stores. Follow the manufacturer’s application instructions. On TimberTech products (except Earthwood Plank, Floorizon Plank in tropical colors, BuilderBoard, BuilderRail, and the RadianceRail and Ornamental Rail Systems): if the stains have set, you may use fine sandpaper and sand lightly followed by a wire brush to re-grain the decking (this applies to brushed surfaces only). Always follow the wood grain finish. The sanded area will weather back in approximately 8-10 weeks but can vary depending on location and specific application.
