Spring Cleaning! Keeping Your Vinyl Deck Looking Its Best!

5/8/2019

Team Purple got up to some office spring cleaning this morning and decided it was the perfect opportunity to pass along some cleaning tips of our own to keep your vinyl deck looking beautiful all year long! Our vinyl membranes are designed to be as low-maintenance as possible, but the occasional bit of TLC will keep them looking spectacular for years for come.

Soap & Water
A little bit of warm water and mild soap is the simplest way to keep your vinyl deck looking great. Mild detergents like household dish soap or OxiClean Light are our recommended cleaners. Before you start, sweep or brush off your deck to loosen dirt and grime and clear away excess debris. Wet your deck down with your cleaning solution and give it a light scrub with a bristle broom or brush. Rinse well with your garden hose to full remove all detergent and let it dry!

Pressure Washing 
 While Dec-Tec and Deckrite membranes do not require intensive cleaning and maintenance, a pressure washer can be used for the occasional deep clean of your vinyl deck. When using a pressure washer use a mild detergent and set the washer to its lowest setting, using caution around seams, caulking, trim and rail attachments. Never use solvents on your vinyl decking.

Additional Tips & Tricks
  • Avoid letting plant matter such as fallen leaves or flower petals sit on your surface of your deck. These materials can leave hard to remove stains if left for extended periods of time.
  • Clean up spills as soon as they happen! Summertime favourites like suntan lotion or fruity drinks can contain dyes that may affect the surface of your vinyl.
  • Use a mat underneath your BBQ or any outdoor cooking device that could lead to oil splatter or food drippings. This will help protect your vinyl membrane and save you cleaning time in the long run!

What Our Clients Are Saying...

We are so thrilled with our vinyl deck!  It looks amazing 3 years later and we literally haven't had to do anything to maintain it looking great.  Thanks so much for helping us make a selection that we absolutely love and for being perfectionists in your work." ~ Mark F.

"Wow! What else can we say?  We absolutely love our vinyl deck and the new glass railings!  We spend as much time as we can outside and now we have the outdoor dining/living space we dreamed of.  No maintenance, no staining, no nothing.  Just awesome.  Thanks so much!" ~ Sarah J.


"Highly recommended contractor for vinyl decking , vinyl membranes and handrails. Professional team namely Roger and Landon. A contractor who puts client satisfaction first is ,without any doubt, a successful contractor and will have a sustainable business for sure. This is what Calgary Best Decks demonstrated on my vinyl deck and handrail project at my house. The guys even upgraded my vinyl membrane to the premium quality membrane at no additional cost to me just because they believed it’s better from construct-ability point of view." ~ Raed S.

"These guys were such a delight to work with. From the quote, to the completion, they were great! Excellent communication and we ended up with exactly what we wanted. I wasn't sure about having our deck done in the winter, but it worked out great. The weather even cooperated! It turns out they work all winter here in Kelowna. We had vinyl deck installed, topless glass railings and an outdoor kitchen. They had it done very quickly and we're so excited that our deck is ready for when spring hits! I highly recommend Canada's Best and their purple team!" ~ Chloe S
