INFINITY CLEANING & CARE GUIDE ● When using soaps, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and test in an inconspicuous area or on an off-cut to make sure the cleaner does not harm the deck surface. ● The use of cleaning products that contain bleach or acid are not recommended. ● Certain ingredients in products such as insect repellent and sunblock contain chemicals that could cause a reaction and harm your deck’s surface. Please take care to ensure you keep these products away from your deck.
