How to Clean Scuff Marks Off Trex Decking

Composite decks, often called Trex decking, require some basic care and maintenance to keep them looking good. Although composite decks require less work than standard wood decks, certain things can still leave stains or marks, such as scuff marks from shoes. Cleaning scuff marks from Trex decking is fairly simple. You should do it as soon as you notice the marks to prevent the marks from setting into the deck material and making the stains more difficult to remove. Does this Spark an idea?
