## Summary

Use pressure washing only within the selected decking manufacturer's care instructions. More pressure is not a substitute for the right cleaning method.

## Practical method

Identify the surface type and test the permitted method on an inconspicuous area. Follow the stated nozzle, distance and pressure limits rather than copying settings from concrete cleaning. Remove loose debris first and inspect joints where dirt can be driven beneath the boards. For public terraces, manage runoff and restrict access while cleaning leaves wet surfaces. Record the treatment used and its result. Stop if the surface becomes visibly damaged; sanding or aggressive abrasion may be unsuitable, especially for capped products.

## Planning and verification

Compare complete systems for the stated use, including supporting structure, connections, drainage and maintenance access. Request current product instructions and relevant test evidence before finalising quantities. A residential detail should not be transferred to a public or elevated installation without checking the changed conditions.

## Handover and maintenance

Record the selected profile, batch, approved drawings and maintenance owner. Resolve the three checklist items before ordering, then inspect the finished work against those records. Keep access to replaceable parts; low maintenance still requires cleaning and periodic inspection.

## Pressure washing WPC decking without avoidable damage — What should be confirmed before ordering?

Use pressure washing only within the selected decking manufacturer's care instructions. More pressure is not a substitute for the right cleaning method. Confirm the three project checks below with the supplier and the responsible designer. A sample establishes appearance, not approval of the complete installation. Approved cleaning settings; Small-area trial; Wet-area access control
