cleaning a manufactured wood deck?

[steve_64]

i do some work for a wedding barn and they have a deck that is made of that manufactured wood, part wood part other materials. they want to know if i can clean it and i thought about trying to use the buffer with a scrubbing pad and a degreaser.

they tried power washing but the grease stains didnt budge.

i was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions before i just start experimenting.

Nope, the grease stains penetrate into the material and stay there permanently

My deck is that plastic crap that is supposed to last forever.....but what they don't tell you is it uglies out. The original color was gone after a year in the sun.

I got a little oil on it from using a snow blower on it and it doesn't come off completely. Heat damaged warped the fascia boards too!

Expensive shit!

they are disappointed with the way its performing. its a shame because its a real big deck and its used for weddings. i told genny they should paint it lol.

we applied a wood stain to ours....looked good for season.

i was thinking about that today while we were there. maybe an oil based stain would help cover or blend with the grease stains.
