Spotting is usually a sign of mildew that originates from pollen, dirt, grass, etc. I would like to give you some of our recommendations to resolve your concern: <br />Clean the entire deck with a deck wash containing detergent and sodium hypochlorite, commonly known as bleach. This deck wash will lighten the wood on the surface of Trex in addition to removing the mold. To minimize lightening of darker Trex colors, dilute deck wash with 50% water. TIP: Cleaners work best when decking is completely dry. <br /><br />The following brands of deck cleaners have been found to be effective in removing mold from Trex decking: <br />- Olympic Premium Deck Cleaner <br />- Expert Chemical Composite Deck Cleaner & Enhancer (www.expertchemicalinc.com) ***Follow all package directions for usage, safety and disposal. NEVER mix any other cleaners ammonia, phosphoric acid, etc.) with bleach. - Non-chlorine based alternative UltraMean can be used but will require scrubbing with a soft brush immediately after application. (www.rhinohide.com) - Eco-friendly (no bleach): Corte-Clean Composite Deck Cleaner (www.corteclean.com) We do not recommend a power washer to clean the deck.
