Timber trex

[Chazz 14]

My first one coming up next week,

Green mold and dirt on light grey timber trex

What's the best way to clean her up?

Thanks

I have cleaned a lot of Trex decks and they clean up nicely. Mildew, algae and leaf stains all come off with my normal house wash (detergent mixed with bleach). Rinse well. This link is the cleaning recommendations by Trex: Care & Cleaning Guide | Trex

Trex recommended cleaners with Oxalic acid to remove tannin stains. Rinse well.

I have no experience cleaning TREX or composite deck yet, but based on other threads that I have found make sure it is in fact TREX vs another manufacturer. The word "TREX" is sometimes used to describe all brands of composite decking. There may be different methods of care and cleaning for the different brands. The last thing you want to do is inadvertanly void whatever warranty the customer has and be liable for it by using methods prohibited by the manufacturer. Just an FYI.
