Maintenance of fake teak

[matt1]

Hi - Any advice on the maintenance of fake teak, eg the plastic variety? For instance how to deal with scratches / scuffs? How to deep clean and what to use?

Thx

I pressure wash mine. Fortunately no deep scratches so far (touch....errr....plastic) but I guess sanding them down a bit might work.

Check out the manufacturer's advice?

Had mine for 6 years now.

regular maintenance
use starbrite non skid deck cleaner with a soft brush along the “grain”

local stains
Neat starbrite with a pan scourer along the “grain”

deep clean
Yard jet wash or petrol jet wash.

scratches
Sand out with 120 grit along the “grain”. Hard as you like.

Coarsest paper and sand along the grain. That is how the grain is applied in the factory.

I use 80 grit sandpaper and it works fine
