Clearning & Care

How to protect RAINBODECK materials under a masonry construction?

• Continuous Protection: RAINBODECK must remain covered with tarp or construction-grade plastic film throughout masonry work. Unprotected exposure allows mineral deposits to mix with water, evaporate, and leave white residue on surfaces.

• Installation Timing: For decks and indoor flooring, always install RAINBODECK as the final project step to prevent construction debris accumulation.

• Cleaning Protocol: In case of residue, carefully clean the surface with a soft, non-metallic brush and soapy water if necessary, taking care to avoid abrasive tools that may cause scratches.
  

Can I use a pressure washer to clean RAINBODECK?

• Yes, a pressure washer with a wide fan tip, set the pressure to under 80 bars and at a distance of 40 cm (do not use a rotating nozzle). Work with extreme caution because a pressure washer can damage your deck.

Is oiling, varnishing or staining of RAINBODECK required?

• Absolutely not. RAINBODECK materials are manufactured with weatherproof technology and, unlike wood, they do not fade over time or require refinishing.
  

HOW TO REMOVE AND CLEAN?

Dirt and debris

• Surface debris should be sprayed off with a hose. Use warm, soapy water and a soft, non-metallic scrub brush to remove debris.

Ice and snow

• Calcium chloride or rock salt can be used to melt ice and snow on RAINBODECK decking. Care should be taken to rinse off the surface when weather permits. Use plastic shovels (never metal) to remove snow and ice. A metal shovel may chip the decking surface and void the warranty.

Oil/Grease/Food

• Any oil/grease/food spills must be removed promptly. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft, non-metallic brush. Grease and oil may require an all-purpose cleaner if warm soapy water does not work.

Mineral deposits and swimming pool water

• Prepare a soft-bristled brush or broom, and a mop towel.

  Use the following cleaners:
  

• Water + vinegar in equal proportions
  

• Household/ laundry detergent

• Toilet bowl cleaner

Mould and mildew

• Mold and mildew occur periodically in everyday environments. Therefore, surface mold and mildew may appear if decaying organic materials (such as, but not limited to, wood, leaf decay, and pollen) are present along with elevated temperatures, air, and water. There is no way to completely eliminate mold and mildew, but you can minimize their occurrence by removing any decaying organic materials as quickly as possible.

•  If mold and mildew appear, use soapy water and a soft, non-metallic scrub brush to clean the surface.
