Armadillo Deck Maintenance

Maintenance and Cleaning: Armadillo offers the ultimate low-maintenance solution, requiring cleaning just twice a year to uphold its appearance. Here are tips to remove common items that can stain or discolor the beauty of your Armadillo Decking.

  • Dirt and Debris: Use a water hose to spray affected areas and remove surface dirt. For buildup, use warm soapy water with mild dishwashing detergent and a soft sponge or rag. Rinse thoroughly with a garden hose afterward.
  • Sticker Adhesive: Apply a citrus-based cleaning product to affected areas and gently remove buildup with a soft sponge or rag. Thoroughly rinse the decking surface afterward.
  • Oil and Grease: Quickly clean up spills using warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or rag. Rinse thoroughly with a garden hose within one week to maintain warranty coverage for stains.
  • Mold and Mildew: Periodic cleaning helps prevent buildup. If mold or mildew is present, use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or rag to remove it. Rinse thoroughly with a garden hose afterward.
  • Ice and Snow: Apply calcium chloride or rock salt as needed, rinsing the deck surface thoroughly later to avoid residue buildup. Use a plastic shovel to clear snow, avoiding metal shovels or sharp tools to prevent damage.
  • Pressure Washer: Avoid using a pressure washer, as it may damage the deck surface.
