We also give a way, so -called Homemade: Mix oxygen fabric bleach in a 1: 3 ratio with water, add a quarter of the vascular fluid, not containing ammonia. Then pour the solution into the garden sprayer and spray the mix on the terrace boards. Leave it on the terrace for about 10-15 minutes, then rinse with water. In the case of places where mold is particularly difficult to remove, use the brush.

When the snow covers the terrace, it should be removed with shovels along the groove. Snow snow in the opposite direction to arrange boards can lead to scratch or even chipping pieces of board. The plastic shovel will be much more delicate for boards than metal. For snow removal, do not use salt or other melting agents, as they can lead to discoloration on the boards and remove the oil in them.
