Maintenance Tips

WANNABES WPC products are designed to be low-maintenance — a little routine care keeps them looking new for years.

Routine Cleaning

  • Wash with clean water, a neutral detergent and a soft brush — that's all regular maintenance requires.
  • Rinse leaves, dust and debris off the surface regularly to prevent organic buildup in the texture.

Stain Removal

  • Most stains lift with warm water and neutral detergent.
  • Stubborn stains can be wiped with alcohol or a dedicated WPC-safe cleaner.
  • Never use strong acids, alkalis or corrosive cleaning agents.

What You Never Need to Do

  • No painting, oiling, sealing or waxing — the color is engineered into the board.
  • No sanding or refinishing — surface texture is permanent.

Periodic Checks

  • Once or twice a year, check clips and screws for tightness, especially after extreme weather.
  • Keep expansion gaps clear of debris so boards can move naturally with temperature changes.
  • Ensure drainage under the deck remains unobstructed.

Good to Know

A slight, even and natural fading over long-term outdoor exposure is normal for any outdoor material and is not a quality issue — see our Quality & Use Statement for details.
