cwarrior 14 Report post Posted June 9, 2011 I have been asked to clean the surface of an Ipe deck at a restaurant. The deck is black due to grease from foot traffic. What type of chemical can I use on Ipe for removing grease? Also, what is good for general cleaning of Ipe. Thanks, Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 bigchaz 157 Report post Posted June 9, 2011 I would do a test spot. Sodium hydroxide should work on grease, otherwise for general cleaning of unstained aged IPE I use sodium percarbonate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
