✓
Do not use solvent-based or chemical care and maintenance products, refinishing products, or
waxes on Dec-Tec DIY membranes.
✓
Do not attempt to scrape off stains using sharp or abrasive objects.
✓
Do not use floor polishers on the Dec-Tec DIY membrane.
Winter Conditions
✓
Avoid metal edged snow shovels as they can puncture the Dec-Tec DIY. Inspect your shovel for any
sharp edges prior to use.
✓
Use a broom for light snow. If snow is fluffy, it may be easier to brush it away with a simple broom
rather than risking scratching your deck with a shovel.
✓
Use a plastic shovel if removing larger amounts of snow.
✓
Use the right ice melt product for your Dec-Tec DIY. Do not use any product with a colorant added
as this may stain your Dec-Tec DIY. It is safe to use de-icing agents such as rock salt, just make
sure you rinse it off once the snow is gone.
✓
Sometimes sand is recommended as an alternative to chemical ice melts for preventing slippage,
but like any abrasive substance, sand can scratch the Dec-Tec DIY and diminish the aesthetic.
✓
Do not try to shatter ice buildup on your Dec-Tec DIY. As tempting as it is to eliminate it, this can
damage the deck.
Thank you for choosing Dec-Tec DIY!
