Caring for and cleaning wooden decking elements
Terrace elements turn gray over time. This is technically unproblematic but sometimes undesirable from a visual point of view. In a particularly damp and shady environment, algae and fungi can also colonize the surface. To counteract graying and to protect against algae and fungi, Betterwood offers various wood care and cleaning products.
What effect does each care product have?
There are special care products for the decking elements that achieve the best results in the long term. To choose the best product and use it correctly, the desired goal should be defined in advance:
| Target | Product recommendation |
| Preserve and enhance wood color longer | BioMaderas decking oil with UV protection |
| Wood protection against algae and fungi, natural look | BioMaderas decking protection |
| Cleaning older wooden decks | BioMaderas decking cleaner |
BioMaderas Decking Oil
In addition to an oil that penetrates deep into the wood and protects the decking element, this decking oil has added UV protection, which enhances and preserves the wood color for longer. In addition, a fine, water-repellent layer is formed, which counteracts the washing out of the natural color pigments of the wood. It should be applied thinly with a lint-free cotton cloth immediately after laying the teak elements, without leaving large areas of standing oil. You will achieve the best effect if you repeat the treatment once a year on your dry and clean wooden decking.
BioMaderas Decking Protection
This wood preservative has been specially developed for the requirements of wooden decking. It effectively counteracts the formation of algae and fungi and leaves the wood in its natural state. It should be applied to the wooden surface with a large brush or paint roller immediately after laying the decking elements. The decking protection is also suitable for use after fungal and algae infestation. The affected area should first be sanded and cleaned before the product is applied. For best results, repeat the treatment every one to two years on your dry and clean teak decking.

The cleaning effect usually lasts for two years.
