Here we have two Scrubb products which are formulated to be specifically for composite decking and cladding.
We have the composite decking cleaning care. This is perfect for all types of decking cladding and is effective at lifting grime, soils, grease, bird droppings, and leaf stains. When using this product, remove any debris from the surface. Apply it neat with a low pressure sprayer or watering can and completely saturate the area. Allow i
to dwell for 15 to 30 minutes and then you can rinse with a hose or pressure washer. Agitating with a stiff brush can also help. Alternatively, you can also apply this product with a pressure washer. And this is again pet safe when the product’s dry.
We also have the composite decking algae remover and inhibitor. Again, this is a ready-to-use product and perfect for all types of composite decking and cladding. It’s effective at removing green films, algae, mould, lichen. And again, when using it, remove any debris from the surface. Apply directly with a watering can or a sprayer and then allow to work for 36 hours. As a note of warning, don’t get the algae remover and inhibitor on any ornamental plants or lawns as this may damage them. If you do, just rinse them thoroughly with water.
