Staining And Maintenance
If any staining occurs in the future, sandpaper with a 40-grit setting should be used along the grain to remove most markings. This area may appear lighter than the surrounding area but should blend with it over time.
Wearing high heels and black soled shoes will cause dents and marks on the surface respectively. Such dents will remain on the surface due to the concentrated pressure on the material. Our recommendation is the same for real timber teak decks: deck shoes.
As with high heels, furniture legs also tend to exert pressure that may dent a deck surface. You should use pads to help distribute the pressure across a larger area. Ensure that heavy items are not dragged across the surface of the deck in order to prevent the material from being scratched.
It is best to avoid placing hot objects on synthetic teak decking since this can cause marks or burns on the surface that might be difficult to remove, depending on how deep the heat has spread.
You should not use power sanders because they cause uneven surfaces and can easily damage profiles and joints.
Your synthetic teak deck will look better and last longer if you keep it clean and maintained.
