Maintenance for Composite Decking by Futurewood One of the best features of composite decking is that it is virtually maintenance-free. Composite wood is not like natural wood, which requires frequent maintenance like sanding, re-painting, or oiling. Maintenance for composite decking by Futurewood is nowhere near as taxing or toiling, but general cleaning is still recommended. Initially, composite decking should be cleaned to remove any possible manufacturing lubricants, as well as grime or dirt that comes from installation. Since composite decking boards are made from rice husks, hardwood flour, and recycled plastic, residual tannin will likely appear the first few times your deck gets wet. This will disappear over time. Only periodic cleaning is recommended for composite decking. Sweeping away dirt and dust from foot traffic or nearby vegetation should be done, just to keep it looking great. Washing the deck is also recommended, and should you use a pressure washer, ensure that the pressure is below 1200 PSI.
