Trex Composite Decking has turned black mold. I called trex and filed in there warranty dept. sent pict. also. Told to clean it with certain product and have used it before did nothing. Did it 2 more times on part of the deck and the dirt came off but the black mold looks darker now did not budge. Also tried scrubbing it didn't do much at all. Trex told me even though they have emailed me regarding my pict. after I filled out form and now said they can't find my case. Is there a class action against Trex? Anyone know how to file for it? I replaced my wood deck with Trex being told only hose it down. Then that is all I should be doing. They should have figured out something regarding a mold problem before selling this item advertise as only hose it down. Maybe the composit and wood together holds moisture and maybe that is why there is a mold problem. The new trex now has changed there is something in it to help with the mold problem. That shows there was a problem and something should of originally been added into the Trex to help with mold. Therefore they should really be responsible for replacing the inferior trex decking with the newer one. Trex was expensive when It was pruchased and installed by a deck co. I should not have to do this work 2 times a year. I should not have to pay for ilumpic cleaner and penifin also as Trex said I should use after getting off the black mold that is not coming off, I tried to scrub it also. Therefore I can't even use the Penifin. I should not have to on my hands and knees brush on the cleanser being close to the mold. I changed over to Trex in this area only to not have more work. I do not want to get this cleanser or mold into my pool which the Trex is around it. I was told to brush this on and have asthma. I also get ulcerations on my fingers and not supposed to be using these items and not supposed to wear gloves. I have other medical conditions which makes me not supposed to be doing this. Trex gives people a run around instead of doing the correct thing.

Its a bad deal with t=junk sorry Gurl. The only way to know is to try it. Your right tjunk mold/ bad nasty spots ya know the typical bad thing that happens can only be covered up.A quality finish like twp 100 series will soak in to this composite, staining up is the weak point,I mean really soak up the stuff will drink it in. Now will this stop the spots,they are coming in from inside the product, its possible. After an oxalic wash... Try a test area and wait a month or so. If you like it do the whole thing. Really you have nothing to lose and a lot to gain at this point. The same finish will work on the pt area with the same prep. Get back to Me and again its a bad deal but make the most of it. John.

I have something similar. Started as ox blood red splotches. Now vision is like looking through a yellow lattice. My eye doctor also cleared my vision, cataracts are clear, a few floaters but they are not colored. He suggested that I may have a neurological problem. He then followed up with I probably did not want to be tested for it "right now". He would not elaborate but he probably was meaning psychological stress with my husband in a nursing home rather than neurological. I am taking multivitamins with lutein to prevent macular degeneration but noticed when I take a zinc tablet the red spot fades. In writing this I notice that today neither the spot or the latticework is visible. I do not like taking the vitamins because they make my stomach hurt. With the loss of your baby it is possible that the symptoms may be related to the crying that you have been doing. Stop stressing your eyes to confirm the problem is still there. It is so hard to loose a companion and can cause extra stress for months.

Yes its from the debris...gently raking thru them in the spring allows them to breathe and thrive. You can always simply scratch into the soil of the open areas, then remove pieces from the edges to fill in those spots...then water. It is the easiest plant to propagate.
