Sweep the deck surface to remove loose dirt and debris, then wet the surface with a standard garden hose and allow the water to sit for a few minutes. Using warm water mixed with a mild dish soap, scrub the surface with a bristle push broom before rinsing thoroughly. For dirt trapped within the texture of the membrane, re-wet the area with warm water, gently scrub with a stiff bristle brush, and rinse again. Repeat as needed until the surface is clean.

Use a plastic snow shovel to remove accumulated snow. While de-icing salt products may be used, they have not been tested for compatibility with DekSmart vinyl decking and are applied at the owner's discretion. Because many industrial rock salts contain harsh chemicals that may damage the membrane, organic, kid- and pet-friendly de-icing products are recommended whenever possible. At the end of the winter season, thoroughly clean the deck to remove any remaining de-icer residue.
