Saw something about Pine-Sol being a "bug repellant" and people use it to clean patios/decks. I have composite deck boards and just want to make sure it won't damage them.

I used to work for a building materials distributor; we moved a lot of composite decking. From what I remember the manufacturer didn't recommend leaving a cleaner on the decking, that if a cleaner was used it should be rinsed off before it has the chance to dry. I can't speak to Pine-Sol specifically, but we would use Simple Green on any boards that needed cleaning and would wipe it down with a couple rags (one to remove the excess cleaner, and a wet rag to follow up).

Edit: Here's a url for the manufacturer's product care page that we dealt with. If you know the brand of decking you have installed there ought to be a similar page on their website if there are any differences.

Okay, good to know. I'll make sure to do small sections so it doesn't dry. And yeah the boards are Trex. I'll check their website.
