This is an updated explanation of how to maintain an Ipe Deck/Fence/Siding. This video applies to the maintenance of any exterior use of Brazilian Hardwoods including, Ipe, Cumaru, Massaranduba, Purpleheart, Garapa and Tigerwood.
In this video, I’ll tell you how to properly maintain Brazilian Hardwood Decking. I’ll also show how I cleaned, brightened and oiled a really dirty Brazilian Hardwood surface.

There are a couple very helpful tips that I didn’t mention in the video,
1. If you want to keep your deck looking like new, spray it down with a water hose periodically. If you can keep pollen and dirt from settling in the face of the boards, they will stay clean longer.
2. Schedule your cleaning and oiling for AFTER the Spring pollination. Pollen is a prime cause of deck dirt. Timing your cleaning/oiling will make maintenance easier.
3. If you want to achieve and maintain a silver/grey color, simply skip the oiling. Oiling only serves to maintain the natural colors. Brazilian Hardwoods are naturally water, insect, mold, and fire resistant.
4. The ability to maintain Brazilian Hardwoods is an ADVANTAGE. Some people see maintaining these woods as a “con”. In fact, Brazilian Hardwoods are unique in that they CAN BE restored, recycled and reused. Artificial products fade, weaken, and deteriorate over time, and can never be restored.
