TREX SIGNATURE
®
RAILING CARE AND CLEANING GUIDE
Maintaining the appearance of your Trex Signature railing is important. The occasional wash is recommended
as over time your Signature railing may show signs of weathering as a result of exposure to the elements. The
frequency of cleaning will depend on the environment and exposure to various types of elements.
For installations where the atmosphere is infl uenced by bodies of salt water or other contaminant
conditions, cleaning is required every 6 to 9 months. Failure to adhere to the required cleaning guidelines
will void the Trex Limited Warranty with respect to any condition resulting from such failure. For purposes
of any warranty claim, you should retain documentation of the cleaning date, cleaning method used, brand
and amount of chemical used, and invoice from cleaning company (or a receipt for chemicals used).
Regular cleaning may minimize the effects of weathering and remove dirt, grime and other build-up. The best
method of maintaining the appearance of your Signature railing is to occasionally wash it using a solution of warm
water and a non-abrasive, pH neutral detergent solution. The railing surface should be thoroughly rinsed after
cleaning to remove all residues. Use a soft white cloth, sponge or a soft bristle brush.
DO NOT clean Trex Signature railing with solvents such as thinners or solutions containing chlorinated
hydrocarbons, esters or ketones.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
Job Site Storage
Store decking on a fl at level surface, and ALWAYS use proper supports (dunnage).
DO NOT store directly on the ground. When stacking decking bundles, supports (dunnage)
should start approximately 8-in (203 mm) from each end and be spaced approximately 2-ft
(0.61m) on center. In addition, supports (dunnage) should line up vertically/perpendicular
to the decking product. Adjust support blocks (dunnage) accordingly if bundles are loose.
For Select decking, 1x12 and 1x8 products, the maximum stack height is 12 bundles. For
all other decking products maximum stack height is 14 bundles (IMPORTANT TO NOTE
THAT PROPER DUNNAGE SPACING MUST BE IN PLACE FOR THESE HEIGHTS).
When stacking multiple bundles, ensure that dunnage lines up vertically down through
each stack. ALWAYS cover decking products on site until ready to be installed.
