Composite Decking Cleaning & Care

NeoTimber decking boards are extremely hard-wearing and easy to maintain. Composite construction means that the boards do not rot, splinter or warp like traditional wooden boards. And there’s no requirement for them to be regularly sealed, stained, painted or waterproofed.

Keep your deck clean by sweeping with a soft broom regularly. Twice a year you may also want to wash the decking using soapy water or a specialist decking cleaning solution. We recommend this is undertaken in the spring and again in the autumn.
