CARING FOR YOUR BOAT
rinse. Should this not get the entire affected area
completely clean, repeat. If the stain remains and you
need to get more aggressive, a commercial automotive or
marine vinyl/rubber cleaner may be used. Follow the
cleaning instructions on the products. Never leave harsh
detergents or chemicals on the material without cleaning
off the residue.
Vinyls are not stain-proof materials. Certain dyes, inks,
rubber based material, chemicals and tannin based leaves
may cause permanent staining.
Never use harsh chemicals such as tar removers, acetone,
kerosene or oxalic acid based cleaners on Vinyl Teak
flooring.
Faux Teak Flooring
PlasDECK is a plastic product, so it doesn’t require any of the
maintenance demanded by teak and it’s easy to clean.
You never need to apply any protectants, oils, or other products to
preserve the finish. Fish blood, food, drinks, and
dirt is easily washed away.
Here are some helpful hints for the care and cleaning of PlasDECK:
• Power Wash It! A small household power-washer (around
1500 psi) works well to lift debris from the textured surface of
PlasDECK.
• Soap! Soaps such as boat wash or Simple Green™ can be used
to help release the dirt. Food spills, especially oily foods,
should be cleaned with a safe degreaser such as dish
detergent or Marine Clean™. Bleach can be used for
sterilization if desired. Because PlasDECK is a PVC, it is
susceptible to oil, gas, diesel, and acetone. If this type of spill
occurs, clean immediately and thoroughly with a soapy
detergent such as dish soap, boat wash, or Simple Green™.
• Brush! A nylon brush is often helpful to release stubborn
debris from the surface. If desired, a short bristled wire brush
can be used on wet decking with soap and water to help
