Veranda deck from Home Depot 9/15/08
Dear Corte Clean,
I have tried your product and it has worked as promised, thank you.
I have a 700 sq/ft Veranda deck from Home Depot. I am very pissed at HD at the moment. When I contacted Veranda/HD they only thing that they said is that I should use your product and to remove the source of the mold.
As far as I'm concerned HD should pay you to provide me with a lifetime supply of your product.
Thanks,

WOW - Amazing Product! 8/16/09
Corte Clean saved me. Mold was taking over our Trex deck that was only a year old. We tried pressure washing with various concentratipns of bleach. Trex does not seem to be aware of this product! I called their customer service department and was told to try a bleach deck cleaner-this only made the mold/fungus angry and it took me hours to apply it. I googled "Trex cleaner" and found one small report about Corte Clean (surrounded by irrate Trex customers responses). I was thrilled with how fast Corte Clean worked.

Works Better Than Olympic Deck Cleaner 10/21/08
I have been using Olympic deck cleaner that contained toxic sodium hypochlorite to clean my Trex decking, annually, for the last 5 years. I decided to give eco-friendly Corte Clean a try because I live near the beach in Washington State. Corte Clean cleaned stains and green moss from my Trex deck that the Olympic did not touch. The Corte Clean even removed the grease from spilled dog food! I highly recommend Corte Clean!

Rain about 300 days a year. 5/21/10
My name is J. Carr, we had our home built two years ago, we have a Timber Tech deck all around the house with steps in the front of the house and a bridge in the back. We live in Waimea Hawaii on the wet side of town. They call it the wet side because we get some form of rain about 300 day a year. Our deck developed these dark spots (mold) the size of a penny or smaller, in a search for a cleaning product I contacted TimberTech on the Web. They listed Corte Clean as an recommended cleaner for their product. I contacted Greg #! at Corte Clean and asked about his product. I did not take before pictures but the ones I sent to Greg are the after. I found the product easy to use and you can see the results. I highly recommend the product if you have the composite product on your deck. (See after photos in Media Photo Gallery)

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,
C. Teegarden
I “Googled” reviews for Corte Clean 10/9/09
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!!

great customer care! May 2011
The Trex decking had been neglected and had lots of mold. After one treatment at full strength I could tell this product is something special. I will be telling the neighbors and the board about your product, as many of the homeowners have the Trex decking.

I have a new deck!! 3/19/10
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.

Amazed At How Well It Removed The Mold 9/16/08
I wish to thank you for this wonderful product.Yesterday, I cleaned my deck, either Trex or TimberTech, with Corte Clean and was amazed at how well it removed the mold spores (black spots) on the surface. What is the shelf life for this product? (Approx. 5 Years if stored in a cool, dry place with the lid securely fastened) I am ready to order more if it can be stored for a period of time . Thanks again for this awesome product. Raleigh, N.C.

1st time it actually came clean! 8/17/2008
Hi Scott,
Well, we used the Corte Clean following the directions on the can. The stuff is amazing! As you can see from the pictures, we had really bad black mold spots all over our Smart Deck composite decking. It is true -- the stuff works the best in sunlight. I mixed 2 cupfuls of Corte Clean in a gallon of hot water, sprayed it on and let it sit 25 minutes, brooming it once after about 15 minutes, and sprayed on more mixture after brooming. You can see the color difference and how clean the deck became.
I used all of the Corte Clean on a very dirty 14 ft x 16 ft deck, and ran out before I could finish the other 16 ft x 16 ft portion of my deck. So I am ready to buy more. Please stock this product! Once the word gets out, look out! It's the ONLY PRODUCT I'VE FOUND THAT WORKS without bleaching the composite material.
Thanks for the opportunity to provide this testimonial and I look forward to a bright-shiny deck from now on! Let me know when you get more product -- I'd like to keep at least a 10 pound supply on hand. Thanks Corte-Clean, and thanks to The Deck Superstore for offering this product.
Sincerely,
P. Thompson, Centennial, CO 8/17/2008 SmartDeck Composite deck owner -- deck installed in 2003 and this was the 1st time it actually came clean!

Mold & FLower Pot Stains 1/23/09
I purchased Clorox Composite Deck Cleaner from the Home Depot to clean my Trex deck of black mold, flower pot and other stains. It had little if any effect. I then found Corte Clean in the TREX literature. I ordered it from this web site to give it a try. I was amazed at how well it worked although it did take several applications to clean the tougher stains. I just ordered another 12lbs. Great product!

Correct Deck Corte Clean Results 6/12/09
In desperation, I must admit that I have tried a couple of other products to clean my heavily mold stained, neglected, Correct Deck: ZEP Deck and Fence Wash, Concrobium XT Eco Wash and Oxy-Clean. None work as well as Corte Clean. In my opinion Corte Clean is not magically effortless (and never claimed to be) but it is the best cleaner available. B. McGregor, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada

I just want to say thank you for your wonderful product. I cleaned my Trex deck last weekend and it looks new again. My wife is amazed how nice it looks without any of the mold and dark spots on it.

I will do whatever I can to help others learn of your product. You can count on me to be a customer for life and a spoke person for your product and your company.
Please let me know if I can do anything for your company in order to promote this wonderful product. Feel free to have anyone with questions to contact me for my experience with Corte Clean.

Trex Deck Looks Brand New! 8-16-08
I just finished cleaning my gray Trex deck today with Corte clean and it looks just like the day it was installed. I highly recommend this product to anyone who owns a Trex deck, especially if they live in a brutal climate like Western MA.
