| The Florida Times Union-Jacksonville - Saturday, September 20, 2008
By GENE AUSTIN McCatchy Newspapers
We have a deck made out of composite (wood and plastic) material that has many mildew stains. I tried removing the stains with a pressure washer and deck cleaner, but only succeeded in making them lighter.
Q: What is the best product for cleaning this type of product? S.D
A: If pressure washing and deck cleaner didn't remove the stains, it makes me wonder if they are really mildew or possibly something more tenacious. You might try a special cleaner for composite decks that is recommended by some manufacturers of composite-deck materials. It is supposed to remove stains caused by mold, mildew, ground in dirt and a variety of others.The product is called Corte-Clean http://www.corteclean.com |

| SUNSET Magazine - Expand Your Deck - Friday, May 30, 2008
Expand your Deck
Reinvent your space by connecting your house and yard with a multilevel destination for outdoor living.
by Jim McCausland - Sunset Magazine
FOUR IDEAS YOU CAN USE
1. Durable material
Portland homeowners Grant and Suzanne Malin built their new deck with wood/plastic composite 1-by-6s from Timber-Tech (800/307-7780) that last 25 years. They come in several colors (the Malins chose Redwood) and need only periodic cleaning with power-washing and an eco-friendly product such as Corte-Clean (888/203-2202. Rails (except cedar caps) are copper pipes.
2. Gentle transition
Because the Malins' ground floor sits 3½ feet aboveground, the deck needed to provide a gradual descent into the garden. Seven steps connect the deck's three levels to a small ground-level patio with a portable fireplace. There's seating on the top and bottom levels, and storage beneath the deck for the couple's canoes. The homeowners did much of the work themselves but had a contractor build the deck.
3. Built-in planters
To create the look of a garden on the deck, the Malins installed three built-in planters that drain to the ground below. Framed with pressure-treated wood, the tall, narrow beds are finished with copper sheets cut to size at a plumbing-supply store.
4. Softening greenery
Each planter contains a tall focal-point plant, including a windmill palm by the house and a coralbark maple at right. Filling in around them are low-growers with lime green or reddish brown foliage to complement the deck's rose and copper tones ('Marguerite' sweet potato vine tumbles around orange calibrachoa and a bronze carex in the planter at right).
