IT WORKED GREAT!
IT WORKED GREAT! My Trex looks as good as the day we installed it 3 years ago. As I had mentioned we get lots of rain during the winters here in Tacoma Washington and live close to the bay and the salt water so it is hard to keep the Trex looking good. Our deck is 72 feet long and 3 1/2 feet wide with a 16 by 24 foot area at one end so cleaning it was an impossible job until I started using your Deck Cleaner. As an added note we have a white powdered aluminum railing running the length of the deck and your Corte cleaner worked great on it also and did not damage the metal. Again many thanks for your help... 5/2007

I found Corte Clean to exceed my expectations.
I have a rather large deck and boat dock that I recently resurfaced with TimberTech. The deck is in redwood T&G with the railing kit, and the dock is in the 5/4" cedar planks. They both turned out great. However, they both started to show black mold after about 4-6 months. I think a lot of reason for the mold is that I live in Missouri which has high humidity and the house is surrounded by trees. Mold and mildew is a constant problem on anything outside. After searching for a cleaner, I found Corte Clean on the Internet and gave it a try. It did a great job on cleaning the surface areas and was very easy to use. The railing was a little more of a challenge as it tended to leave a milky residue if it wasn't completed washed off. I ended up using a power washer for the final rinsing. I found Corte Clean to exceed my expectations.

Extremely pleased with the results of Corte-Clean®
I am extremely pleased with the results of Corte-Clean® composite deck cleaner. I have used it on my ChoiceDek® twice and it is the only product that has ever removed mold and mildew from my deck for more than six months. At first I followed the recommendation of the retail store associate to use a product with oxalic acid. It had no effect on the dark mold spots whatsoever. The next product we used was chlorine bleach based and as soon as it rained all the spots came back. At this point the manufacturer sent me Corte-Clean® and the problem is now under control. The mold has been removed and my deck has been restored to it’s original condition. I will continue to use your product and clean my deck yearly.

BEGGING THEM TO SUPPLY 6/30/08
Thank you for such a great product!!! After one year our Trex deck had so many black spots, after such a large investment we were reluctant that anything would restore its original beauty. Corte Clean far exceeded our expectations, we are thrilled with the results. Every hardware store and Home Depot is hearing from us and begging them to supply Corte Clean. Thanks for making our deck back to its original looks. M. Yager Ronkoknkoma, NY

Saved from the wrecking ball!
Thank you for bringing my deck back to it's original beauty. I was ready to have the decking taken out and replaced. Having had the deck built only a year ago I was disgusted with the mold and the fact that it looked 10 years old! I tried several items sold locally which proclaimed to remove mold and found none worked. An internet inquiry on Google brought me to Corte-Clean. I only wish I had tried it first as I would have saved myself much grief and aggravation. Thanks for saving my deck from the wrecking ball!

Very Pleased With Corte-Clean
I am writing to let you know how pleased I am with Corte-Clean. I have a composite deck made with grey colored Weyerhauser ChoiceDek. At the end of last summer, it started to get black spots on it. I didn’t think it was mold because it gets so much sun light. But I used some bleach on it and that seemed to help, but it did not remove it completely. Then this Spring, the black spots really began to spread. So once again I tried the bleach method, and although it remove the mold, within weeks it was back. Discouraged, I tried some Olympic deck cleaner, which again, removed the mold some, but not completely. And, because it is such a strong chemical, I began looking for something else. That’s when I came across Corte-Clean on the web and decided to try it – particularly since it is specifically for composite decks. I must admit, after what I had been through, I was skeptical that anything would work. Well, my skepticism is gone. Not only was Corte Clean easier to use than anything else I had tried, but it was also not a harsh chemical you needed to wear haz-mat gear with. When I applied it, I could begin to see it work because it turns the black into like a brown foam, so you can see it doing its thing. I did use a brush and scrubbed the areas sprayed and it worked great. I was VERY PLEASED and will not use anything else on my deck. One last thing. There was an area of my deck I had cleaned with the Olympic deck cleaner and not Corte-Clean. Now, about a month after using both, the area cleaned with Olympic is beginning to show a return of the mold, but not the area cleaned with Corte-Clean. Last time the mold returned, I was very discouraged that I would have to live with a “moldly deck”. Well, now that I have Corte-Clean, I am clear I can keep my deck looking good. Thanks for a great product.

Vacation Home in the Florida Keys
The deck is about 5 years old. Oddly, the mold showed up suddenly in the aftermath of Hurricane Wilma in the Florida Keys. We came down to check the house(it is a vacation home) and were stunned by the black spots all over the deck. At first we thought it was tree sap from the wind. Corte-Clean made a huge difference and our deck looks great again. Thanks for everything.

My experience with using Corte Clean...
This is a review of my experience with using Corte Clean on my black spotted ChoiceDek. I last cleaned the deck about 1 year ago with a standard deck cleaning product containing sodium hypochlorite and sodium hydroxide. I used Corte Clean on my ChoiceDek last Saturday. It was about 70 degrees, sunny, and I used it at the general cleaning recommended rate of 1-1/2 cups per gallon. I followed the directions explicitly. I did not use a power washer for fears of damaging the deck and I also used a deck scrubbing brush on the entire deck with extra effort on the black spots. The cleaner worked great. I was amazed how quickly it lifted the general dirt. If it wasn’t for the black spots, I could have mostly just sprayed the deck and hosed it off and not used a scrubbing brush. I really like that Corte Clean doesn’t have a bleach odor and found it very easy to use. Last year I used a standard deck wash product and ruined my shirt from bleach stains. Not to mention breathing in bleach vapors and the red irritated skin on my hands (should have worn gloves!) Corte Clean also removed the North Carolina red dirt stains off the deck, but they did require scrubbing. These stains are typically very hard to get out of anything and I was very suprised Corte Clean removed them. The product also removed the dirt and discoloration stains around a welcome mat. I sprayed the railings, which was effective, but it wasted too much of this expensive product. Next time I will use a sponge or towel to clean the handrails. I probably used twice as much product as I expected, primarily because of spraying the railings. As a cleaner, I think Corte Clean worked great. My deck looks as good as new. A few days after it rains I’ll post again and let you know the results. Unfortunately, I’m expecting the mold to return from new mold spores that settle on the deck. I’m just hoping that it won’t be immediate and I can wait another 6 months or so to clean the deck again. Sadly, the more I read about mold and composite decks the more I’m beginning to believe the problem is not unique to ChoiceDek. Congratulations and thanks Greg and Corte Clean for an excellent cleaner that works well and is environmentally friendly. I realize Corte Clean can’t prevent mold. And as I mentioned earliler, the lack of bleach was a huge benefit for me. 3/24/08 This is a follow-up to my post on 3/24/08 about my experience using Corte Clean on my ChoiceDek mold. After 16 days and a lot of rain since I’ve cleaned the deck with Corte Clean our deck is still mold free. Along with the rain, we’ve also had sunny and 70 degree temperatures some of the time. I’ve also been blowing off the deck with a leaf blower once per week. There’s been nothing visible to blow away on the deck, but hopefully it’s blowing off mold spores, if that’s even possible. Mold count in our area is presently low. Tree pollen is medium. One thing I forget to mention in my original post was that I also applied a coating of Corte Clean at the recommended rate and I let it dry on the deck. I did this 2 days after I cleaned the deck. My deck is light gray, so once the chemical dried on the deck I don’t even notice it. Both Corte Clean and AERT recommended this for added protection. So far I’m extremely happy with the Corte Clean solution to cleaning the mold. Hopefully the deck will remain mold free for at least a few more months. Dave 4/7/08 This is another update to my original posting on 3/24/08 after cleaning my ChoiceDek with Corte Clean. Still no mold. The deck is slowly getting dirty but of course that’s to be expected. I still occasionally blow of the deck with a leaf blower. I have not used a hose on the deck since I cleaned it. Temperatures have been in the high 80s to mid 90s. I’m sold on Corte Clean and will use it again. Dave 6/5/08

Quite impressed by the products performance.
I did hear from Danny and yes he did use Corte Clean on his TimberTech deck. Danny thought it did a great job! The deck was quite dirty with lots of pollen and dirt from all the rain (typical of Mobile, AL summers). He was quite impressed by the product's performance.
