“My Fiberon deck was covered with green yuck. It appeared to me like an algae of some sort. With one application of Corte Clean my deck looked brand new! I highly recommend this product to anyone with composite decking.”

“My composite deck had little black spots and black streaks all over it. Cleaning it with the usual deck wash didn't touch the mess. I searched online and found Corte Clean. Drove to Lowe's and bought 1 bag of it. Followed directions given in the video and wasn't sure there was much improvement. BUT, THEN IT DRIED!!! I cannot overstate how beautiful this deck is now. This product is worth every penny and I will make sure I always have some.”

“I have had my composite decking for about 4 yrs now. This past summer I to have noticed “black spots” on my decking. I went to Home Depot and described the situation to them and they sold me some “Krud Kutter” That did not help! My wife said to try Soft Scrub with bleach, still did not help. My wife felt sorry for me because I had to do so much scrubbing. She called the company that manufactured my composite decking (WeatherBest) They told her that “it sounds like your decking has mold on it”!! They told her that the only product that they tell people to use is “Corte Clean” Well, I “Googled” reviews for Corte Clean and for some reason one click brought me to this site! In some of my searches I have also found out that the companies that manufacture composite decking did NOT do their homework as far as mold & mildew getting into the composite decking, and the ads for “No Maintenance, & Low Maintenance” are misleading to the public!! I also feel that I was lied to, but I am NOT going to take the decking out and replace it with anything else! But I also agree with the gentleman from J.P. construction who said all decking needs some maintenance! I did try the Corte Clean 3 weeks ago. I have a upper & lower deck behind my house! I figure about 600 sq. ft of composite decking! It only took about 2 hrs of my time (No Scrubbing) to clean my deck!! On Corte Cleans website they have “before” & “after” pictures of decking with mold & after cleaning and this is exactly how my deck looked!! This is just to tell you people that there is a product that will get the mold out without any scrubbing!!”

“Apologies in advance if this gets a little wordy but I feel like if I can save just one person the trouble that I went through then it's worth the time to put this down. I had an old wooden deck that I replaced with a much larger (3X) Trex composite platform. Very nice custom work from a reputable builder. What happened next is, in my opinion, a mutual fault situation on the part of myself and Trex. I will admit straight up front that I did not do what I was supposed to do... clean the deck two times a year. My bad. For all the money I put into it you would think I would have been more careful. Anyway, in no time flat (the first year) I started to notice little black splotches appearing sporadically here and there. I think this is where the issue of culpability on the part of the Trex composite materials starts to come into play. I've had plenty of wooden decks, and never once did I ever encounter a situation where the wood was covered in black mold after a single year. Anyway, on my new Trex deck some areas had a higher concentration than others, for no apparent reason. Anyway, procrastinator that I am, I did nothing other than make a mental note that I'd have to address it before it got worse. Did it ever. Long story short, I let it get bad. Really bad. Bad enough to where I wouldn't let my 2yr old son go out on the deck anymore and left myself a pair of "deck" shoes out there so if I had to walk on it I wouldn't track mold into the house. It was that bad. Ultimately I decided to act. Went to Home Depot. Asked for advice, was referred to Baehr (sp?) composite deck cleaner. Used it. Didn't make a dent. The scrubbing I did made an impact but the stains were still there and the mold came back with a vengeance almost as soon as I put the brush down. Basically, I think I just made it angry. Started doing more internet research. Found that certain types of composite decks are massively prone to mold, and that there had been class action law suits on some companies, etc., etc. Was starting to think I'd really screwed up permanently with my new home addition. It had been 3 years and I had only cleaned it once and the mold was bad. Yes, I agree... I was a moron for not taking better care of the deck and nobody (including Trex) would argue that I didn't get what I deserved. I got all kinds of bad advice from everywhere you can imagine, folks telling me to high pressure wash it, sand it, etc. to fix but luckily was told by the contractor who built the deck that I would only end up destroying the deck surface and providing even more of a course and grainy surface for mold to cling to and it would be worse than ever. Was considering a tear down when I found a link to Corte Clean on some DIY web site or other. They were making some pretty sensational claims about restoring trashed composite decks to 'like new' status with their wonder product. I bookmarked it but figured it to be just another bogus bunch of marketing garbage. Nothing else worked and I'd tried all the big name products so why believe that some relatively obscure product was the silver bullet? I didn't. Anyway, after more procrastination and the approach of winter I had one more shot for the season to try to fix the situation so I ordered a bag of it off the net. Had nothing to lose at that point. Bought a little plastic pressure pump applicator, got out the scrub brush and went to work. The only regret that I have is that I didn't take pictures of the before and after. I don't write product reviews very often (as you can probably tell) but after all I'd been through and the result I got with Corteclean I had to say something. The deck looks like the day it was installed. No mold. No stains. G-o-n-e. I mean it, it's perfect. Perfect! Make no mistake, it wasn't a hands-off job. I had to scrub it and apply it twice (it was in really bad shape) and it's not real easy to wash off so I got a workout for sure but it's been three months now and I am still astonished at what I have back there. It went from FUBAR to flawless in one afternoon. End story is that my son plays out there again and finally I can open up the double doors again for company and let them use back area. Huge success. WHY is this not sold at Home Depot? At Lowes? At Target? Walmart? Everywhere?? The scary part is that I found this stuff only by luck. Needs a big old marketing push to get the word out. At least there's the Internet. Seriously, folks. Finally something that actually lived up to (in my opinion, outperformed) the hype. Btw, I do plan on cleaning it at least annually from here on out. cheers.”

“Different Cleaning Procedure 5-18-10 Hello, We have a TimberTech deck that is 3 years old. From the very first we have used Corte Clean as our sole deck cleaner and have learned a lot in the process. Just so you know, our deck is on the north side of our home in western Oregon--it is nearly always in the shade, and mildew is a big problem. That said, we love our TimberTech deck and currently use a different cleaning procedure than stated on your website, which we find to be MUCH easier and just as effective. This is our method: 1. A day or two before cleaning, hose or blow deck clean. 2. On cleaning day, make sure deck is dry, and ideally choose a cloudy day that’s not too hot … in the 60s is perfect. 3. Sprinkle dry Corte Clean over a section of the deck, then very lightly spray (mist) with water from a hose. Use a long-handled stiff brush to scrub the Corte Clean and water into deck boards. 4. Continue this process on subsequent sections of the deck. Periodically, go back and re-spray and re-scrub previous deck sections, giving time for the Corte Clean to work and always keeping the deck moist. 5. Finish cleaning by using a strong spray from the hose to thoroughly rinse the deck. Our experience shows that this easy method works absolutely as well as your Corte Clean instructions. But, we do not have to deal with a pump sprayer, measuring, mixing, etc., and we find our method to be so much quicker and easier! Note that we do use about double your recommended amount of Corte Clean for our deck square footage. We found, however, that this was necessary as well back when we followed your cleaning procedure. May I add a couple of quick comments after spending time on your website … I really like that you do not promote use of a deck sealer. I appreciate your up-front comments on why you do not recommend such a product. Thank you for Corte Clean! Sincerely.”
