Customer for life! 5/19/10
Within the first year we had our Trex deck installed it started getting the black mildew spots all over. We tried a cleaner from Lowe's but it didn't do a thing. Then our contractor who installed the deck recommended Corte Clean. Within the first 5 minutes of cleaning the deck in the direct sunlight, the spots were gone! My husband and I couldn't believe our eyes because we thought we'd never find anything that worked. We will be a customer for life and will recommend this product to all our friends who have Trex decking!

WOW, Super Product!
Just completed cleaning my TimberTech® deck and can only tell you in one word how pleased I was using Corte-Clean on it. That word is WOW, super product to work with and I had great results.

AWSOME on EVERGRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! 5/25/10
I have a EverGrain composite deck. After trying almost every product the big box stores had that did not work I found a miracle in a small bag called CORTE CLEAN.I was only able to do half of my deck due to time and sun exposure on the deck. When I finished and saw how good it worked I could not believe it.Looking at the two sides of the deck when wet or dry it was totally amazing to see just how good it works. I did not know the deck was that dirty it took EVERY stain and mold mark out.If you are looking for a product that works then you can stop right here! JUST BUY CORTE CLEAN!!!!!!

Corte Clean works!!! 9/25/08
Used Corte Clean yesterday on my timbertech deck steps which were covered with black spots - I had given up hope. WOW--AMAZING, they look brand new. I am an inpatient person, so I wet (not recommended unless Corte Clean is what he wet the composite with) the steps and sprinkled the Corteclean powder on the steps, used a brush, let it set for 5 minutes, then rinsed. My steps were so bad, I had to do it 3 times on each step, but boy was it worth it. I highly recommend this product.

I've used your product for 3 years 9/8/10
I've used your product for 3 years to clean my 2000 sq ft TREX deck. Always get the mold off. Last year I skipped cleaning in the fall, and I had quite a spotted deck by this summer. Again Corta Clean worked after I put in the effort to clean the deck correctly.

felt compelled to write 5/25/10
We have Trex decking. After reading your testimonials, I feel like I'm being very repetitive. However, I was so impressed with the results I felt compelled to write to you.
Before I used Corte Clean, I had used three different deck cleaners without any luck at all and the next recommended product contained bleach, something I did not want to use. My three products were a Wolman brand, Simple Green brand, and Krud Kutter. I decided to do some research on the web and happened upon your site.
My deck was horrible with mold - so bad I thought it was ruined and it's less than three years old. I decided to purchase Corte Clean instead of the recommended bleaching cleaner and it really was amazing how the mold disappeared.
The directions for use are right on and very simple. Corte Clean worked so well, in fact, I told my brother (who is in lumber sales) that if anyone ever asks him what to use to clean their composite deck, ONLY recommend Corte Clean!
I just wish I had some "before" pictures because the "after" looks brand new - can't thank you enough.

Elk Crosstimbers Results / Mold Stains 8/12/09
We cleaned our first deck with Corte-Clean since stocking it this morning, and I am very impressed with how well it did. We used it on Elk Crosstimbers decking that was very moldy. Thanks again for the knowledge you shared and educating me on the product.
Thanks,

You would refund my money. 9/15/09
I spoke to you yesterday from Va Beach and you said if I was not happy after using Corteclean you would refund my money------guess I won't be taking you up on that.
INCREDIBLE--Already told folks at HD and will sing praises to all my friends and associates. I read some Blogs saying people thought your product pricey???????? Obviously you get what you pay for, after $60.00 and 4 hours I will never get back, the Behr product didn't hold a candle.
I will continue to use Corteclean as recommended by you--thanks loads.

Rusty old water heater stains on TimberTech 5/3/10
I had my old water heater replaced. They took it out and let the rusty old water drain out on my TimberTech deck. Corte Clean removed the rust stains.

Trex Deck Looks New Again 7/5/11
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 was very impressed with the support I received from your company. Your company should be the model for the best in customer service and support. 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.

Incredable Product 6/7/10
My TimberTech decking had very bad mildew & stains and with 1 strong dose of Corte Clean it came out spotless
i would recommend this product to anyone who wants to keep their composite decking clean. Very easy to use!

It worked! I'm very pleased.
It worked! I'm very pleased. At a neighborhood party this spring neighbors were asking how I liked our new deck and my response was that I hated it because it had spots all over it that I couldn't get clean. Now I'm telling my neighbors that I've changed my mind because of Corte Clean. I'll be ordering more this fall. I went through two containers as our deck is 1,500 sq. feet. In addition to the mildew spots, it even got out grease spots that I thought were permanent. Again, I am extremely happy that I found your product.

This stuff works! 10/14/08
I want you to know that I think your product is great. We have had our Trex deck for 3 years. Like everyone, I thought it was maintenance free. When we developed severe spots earlier this year, I spoke to the deck installer (Archedeck of South Nashville) and he recommended a Behr deck cleaning product. It did not work at all. I was about to file a formal warranty complaint against Trex, and then read their site about your product. I could not be happier with the results. I called my installer to tell them the results, and they wanted to know all the info about your product. My sense is that they will recommend CorteClean in the future. Again, thanks for making something that does what it claims!

DistributorTimberTech Trex & Tamko decking 4/20/11
We are a distributor of TimberTech, Trex, and Tamko decking. After selling Corte Clean over the past four years, and having not one failure or disappointed customer, I have what may be my first failed cleaning. I have actually applied Corte Clean myself to a three year old deck and it restored it nearly back to the original color. I have had great results with your product, even after someone has used a bleach based product on it. I have seen very limited, short term results with the sodium hypochlorite products.

NOTE FROM CORTE LLC:
WE DON'T WANT ANY DISSATISFIED CORTE CLEAN CUSTOMERS. CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE ISSUES MUST CONTACT CORTE LLC OR WE CAN'T HELP THEM! NOT ONLY DO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERY CUSTOMER'S COMPOSITE IS CLEAN, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS HOW TO KEEP IT LOOKING THAT WAY AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE COST WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT OF TIME AND EFFORT. CORTE CLEAN FAILS FOR 3 REASONS. 1.) THE CUSTOMER DOES NOT PURCHASE ENOUGH CORTE CLEAN TO CLEAN THE COMPOSITE. 2.) THE CUSTOMER DOES NOT READ & FOLLOW THE CORTE CLEAN LABEL DIRECTIONS. 3.) THE CUSTOMER DOES NOT CONTACT CORTE LLC IF THEY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE USING CORTE CLEAN, WHEN THEY ARE USING CORTE CLEAN, OR AFTER THEY HAVE USED CORTE CLEAN, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH ITS RESULTS!!!!! The reason Corte Clean failed is because it was beyond its "Best If Used By" stamped on every bag. Corte LLC took care of the customer.
Works Better than advertised! 5/29/11
Corte-Clean worked terrific! I've had my deck for 4 years, and it had never been cleaned. I wanted the best product out there, and I found it. While using Corte-Clean, the "dirty water" coming off the deck was quite impressive, and in just a couple hours, I restored my deck to just like new. I will not use any other product in the future.

WOW! It worked wonders! 4/2/2010
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.

Trex Purchased From The Home Depot 11/14/08
We purchased our Trex Brasilia deck from the Home Depot. Eventually it got dirty with mold stains. We tried the cleaners from the Home Depot; without success. We eventually found Corte Clean. After wasting time & money on the other products, we were skeptical and only purchased 1-3lb container of Corte Clean. Corte Clean did an amazing job! Today we have ordered a 6lb container and signed up for the Auto Ship option so that when the product shows up twice yearly, it will remind us to clean our deck. Kara E., Florida
A CLEANER THAT WORKS! 4/28/09
Having a deck in "mold heavy" area this is the only product that works. Tried Mold Armour, bleach, damp-rid...these items did not work! CORTE CLEAN is easy and effective to use. For tough areas just sprinkle the cleaner on a wet deck and scrub. A great product! Top of the line customer service. Buy this product do not waste your money or time on other products! ED B.

Product Worked Great! 9/29/08
I installed a $70,000 Trex deck because I believed it was "No Maintenance", paying approx. 3X mor than wood. I purchased this material because I use to own a deck maintenance company that manitained wood decks for approx. 5 years. I did not want to maintain my own deck. Within the first year I began to notice black mold spots all over my deck and grease stains from a steak that I barbicued. I quickly learned that claims of "No Maintenance" were not true. I then tried to clean my Trex deck with common deck cleaners and chlorine bleach that were and still are recommended by Trex. It made me sick to my stomach when they did not work after wasting valueable time and money purchasing and using these toxic, corrosive products. I eventually found Corte Clean on the "Trex Mold Technical Bulletin" and requested the product at "Ace Hardware at Lake Gaston" in North Carolina with Bill Owens (252) 586-0330. He got the Corte Clean for me and told me that "he had been looking for a product that actually worked for cleaning composites because his customers were reporting that the cleaners he currently carried did not." (His customer service was excellent!) When he got the Corte Cleaner in, Bill called me and I purchased it. I then carefully read and followed the Corte Clean label directions. It worked exactly how the label described and I reported my results back to Bill! I am now recommending Corte Clean to all my friends who own Trex and other brands of composite decks and letting them know where to get it. I have only one question for Trex... Why would Trex not be up front about the need to clean Trex with Corte Clean a couple of times a year instead of recommending toxic, dangerous, corrosive cleaning chemicals that do not work??? Although I am not happy that Trex is not "No Maintenance", at least I now have a safe product that resolves my Trex cleaning issues and am now reolistic about the need to clean my Trex a couple of times per year.

Wow, Wow, WOW! 7/8/09
sorry for this long message, but it takes words to say it all.
I built my Trex deck in the Spring of 2007. I was so proud of how it looked with the saddle brown planks, and the darker Madeira (?) railings with saddle balusters. It looked gorgeous. Last Summer, 2008, it still looked great, although as expected, there was some fading from the sunlight. Over last Winter, dark spots started to appear, and got worse as we moved into this Spring. I was disgusted to look at it, but though it would come off easily. Stupid me. I could not get it off. I have a pressure washer, but was hesitant to use it on the Trex. I did try the pressure washer in an inconspicuous area of my deck; It took off the surface dirt, but would not touch the dark spots. I searched for deck cleaners on the Internet, and found all the stuff the stores carry, plus Corte-clean's web site. I read all the testimonials, and thought "yeah, right", anybody could make up those stories. I was in real need to clean up my deck for the 4th of July, so I placed my order for the 6 lb container of Corte-Clean. I followed the instructions to the letter. Although I did have to do some scrubbing (more than just a little), I could see the spots disappear a I scrubbed and rinsed the cleaner off. Amazing stuff. I wet down the plants around my deck fisrt; they did not get damaged at all. Funny thing is, after a few days, the deck even looked better. there was some **very** light spotting left after cleaning the deck and it was till wet, but it has rained a few times since the cleaning, and there are no more spots at ALL. I am super happy.
And thanks, Greg for your super fast replies (about 15 minutes or less!) to my emails. Greg even called me on the phone to answer a question.
Super product, the best customer service I ever experienced from an Internet vendor.
