Stain Limitations: The Deckorators Decking,

remove all food, beverage and other spilled materials with water and a mild household cleaner within forty-eight (48) hours of exposure.
Stains resulting from spilled abrasive compounds of acidic or basic pH, strong solvents, oil-based paints or stains, metallic rust and other
abnormal items not commonly used on a residential deck are excluded from coverage under this Warranty; Excluded stains include but
are not limited to pet or human bodily fluids such as blood, vomit, urine or feces, and fungicides, bactericides, biocides and chemical-
based plant food. Mold and mildew can settle and grow on any outdoor surface and, if not properly cleaned, can stain that surface.

Warranty. If stains persist, you will be required to produce documentation that you attempted to have the deck professionally cleaned at
least one time prior to making a claim under this Warranty.
