- Rinse the area with water.
- Apply a solution of citrus-based cleaner or equivalent.
- Lightly scrub the area with a stiff-bristled brush or comb.

Additional scrubbing or applications may be required for stubborn stains. Citrus-based cleaners such as Nature’s Orange, Simple Green, and TSP work very well and are available at home improvement centers and janitorial supply centers.
HARD WATER DEPOSITS - RUST - SOIL - PLANT - WOOD STAINS
Regularly cleaning areas by hosing and using a squeegee or push broom to remove standing water is the most effective method of minimizing these stains. If stains begin to appear, clean the area with Lime Away, Whink, or a commercial descaler and rinse well.
- Mix a Muriatic acid solution. (20-40% acid to water) Always add acid to water, not water to acid.
- Dampen the surface with a mist of water. Do not apply acid to a dry surface.
- Apply acid solution to a damp surface with a plastic sprayer or sprinkler can.
- Lightly scrub the deck with a deck broom until the solution stops "fizzing."
- When the fizzing activity stops, it is a sign that the acid has finished working. Do not allow the solution to dry!
- Use a squeegee or deck broom to remove any excess water.
- Neutralize with soda ash, baking soda, or TSP - scrub lightly.
- Rinse thoroughly and squeegee or broom off water.
Heavy deposits may require additional treatments and possibly a stronger acid-to-water ratio.
CAUTION: Always wear protective eye and skin wear when working with any acid solution. Follow safety guidelines printed on containers, including the use of a proper respirator.
MILDEW AND ALGAE
- Mix 50% pool chlorine with water.
- Apply directly onto the affected area with a plastic sprayer or sprinkler can.
- Lightly scrub the chlorine solution over the affected area.
- Allow the solution to soak without drying.
- Rinse the area completely when the solution has stopped reacting.
- Squeegee or broom water from the deck.
BLACK RUBBER MARKS

- Spread the solution over the area with a deck broom.
- Allow the solution to soak without drying.
- Completely scrub the area.
- Rinse thoroughly with high-pressure nozzle.
- Squeegee or broom off water.
High traffic areas may require repeated applications for maximum results. The best maintenance tip for black tire marks is to hose and clean the area regularly to prevent a heavy buildup of rubber and asphalt residue. Other good cleaners that can be used include Simple Green, Nature’s Orange, Amway LOC, or TSP.
