It is easy to keep Seacork deck clean and in good shape.
Cleaning a Seacork Deck is done regularly. We use hard brush
and seawater in the style of teak decks in the old time. If grease is present, use
dishwashing liquid (nothing aggressive).
Never use pressure washer with concentrated water jet (Kärcher dirt blaster).
Normal cleaning: Always mix the soap with water in a bucket as as it is specified on the product instructions and spread on DRY Seacork surface. Brush everywhere, let it stand for 10 minutes, then brush again and then rinse thoroughly. A scotch brite or a broom brite will also do well and will make the cork a golden colour. Seacork Deck is waterproof and does not absorb liquids or take in tinting, and thus cannot stain durably. Barbecue oils, chips and fries, old black engine oil, fish blood, octopus ink, tannic wine, strong coffee, etc ; stay on the surface and are easily washed in the same way. If rust marks are persistent over a long period of exposure, just sand away lighly (0,3mm) and reseal with Corkcoat again.
Seacork can stay as it is when cleaned regularly: a white coat will be created by UVs which protect it. If you want, you can also sand it 0,3mm with (80...100 grit), by hand or with an orbital grinder and then apply Corkcoat again: this will uncover the beige natural cork colour again, until it whitens again. Sanding eliminates Seacork material. If you choose to do this, with 6mm Seacork, you can sand 6 times, with 8mm Seacork you can sand 9 times before replacing the deck.
