Normal cleaning is a hose down at the end of the day. Obviously, if you get a spillage during the day, it’s better to wipe up there and then, but generally, it’s just a case of a wash down as and when. AVOID acetone as this would cause damage. The product itself is impervious, so any marks that are difficult to remove will only be on the surface. Try soapy water, methylated spirits are good – not white spirit, as it can leave a residue. Failing that, you can abrade the mark out with 40-60 grit sandpaper, making sure that you abrade in the direction of the grain.

Due to the uncertainties, we would not be able to guarantee the installation when fitted over an existing teak deck.
