Care & Maintanance

DEKKIT is a plastic product, it is very easy to keep and unlike traditional Teak requires very little maintenance. There is no need to use any specialist products on its surface. Fish blood, food, drinks, and dirt are easily washed away

DEKKIT Care and cleaning tips

Power Wash! A small household power-washer (around 1500 psi) works well to lift debris from the textured surface.

Soap and water! Soaps such as boat wash or washing up liquid can be used to help release the dirt such as food spills oily foods etc, Bleach can be used for sterilization if desired.

DEKKIT is PVC, and it is susceptible to oil, gas, diesel, and acetone. If this type of spill occurs, clean immediately and thoroughly with a soapy detergent such as dish soap, boat wash, or washing up liquid.

Brush! A nylon brush is often helpful to release stubborn debris from the surface. If desired, a short bristled wire stiff can be used on wet decking with soap and water to help loosen particles. IMPORTANT: If you use a stiff brush, always move the brush in the direction of the grain.

Sanding! For bad scuffs, small cigarette burns, or really stubborn stains that have been left to dry, lightly sand the area with 40 grit sandpaper. Also, if an area is worn smooth for some reason, the texture can be restored by lightlysanding. Make sure you sand in the direction of the grain with short strokes. Use a heat gun or let the sun heat your deck over time to blend tones on any areas that have been lightened during the sanding process.Don’t use a power sander! It will warp the grain.

DON’T wear black-soled shoes on DEKKIT. Black shoes may leave marks and scuffs on the decking surface. Wear boat shoes or no shoes. With DEKKIT’s non-skid surface you won’t have to worry about the surface being slippery when wet.

DON’T put oil, varnish, paint, sealers or laquers on your DEKKIT!

HOT ARTICLES! As with any deck, including teak, don’t place hot metals or other hot objects on DEKKIT

By simply washing with soapy water and a soft brush you deck will retain its good looks for many years to come.
