Your Flexiteek teak decks does not require any special treatment or costly maintenance and by following these simple instructions your deck will last many years and continue to look great. Synthetic teak decking is stain resistant and most spills will clean up with warm soapy water (for rapid stain removal, clean while stain is fresh). We recommend the use of a alkaline degreasing detergent used with a 3M doodle bug scrubber or a stiff scrubbing brush, this process should be repeated as often as necessary. If a slight mark remains after a spill, sand with 60grit sandpaper, remember to follow the grain. This will remove any remaining marks.

Over time, your Flexiteek deck may go darker. Should you wish to bring the color back to the original than, once again, sanding with 60 grit sandpaper with a sanding block as described above will restore the color and texture. You will need to allow approximately 15 minutes per square meter to achieve the best results. Unlike real teak,there is minimal material removed when sanding as described and there is no concern about sanding through if the above directions are followed. Flexiteek may be power washed with or with out detergent. DO NOT use an orbital or belt sander on your Flexiteek deck.

DO NOT subject your Flexiteek deck to excessive heat, deck brightening chemicals, acid washes or any 2-part cleaners. Treat your Flexiteek deck with the care that you would a normal teak deck. Flexiteek is designed to be left raw. DO NOT coat you Flexiteek deck with teak oil or oil based varnish. Flexiteek is synthetic and will not absorb fluids. For interior use you may sand your deck with 120-180 grit sand paper and coat with a good quality 2-part water based polyurethane floor finish. This has excellent adhesion and will give a nice polished surface. Beware that the floor may become slippery. This finish is not to be used for the exteriors.
