Composite decking

Hi all. Last year we went on holiday and the cottage we had booked had lovely pale grey composite decking. So in January this week, we had a large decked area done in the same pale grey, with a dark grey border and it looks great.

However.....

We put some outdoor furniture on it the other day, and the first thing we noticed was scuff marks where the furniture had been moved. The plan is to have it on mats, but at the time we were just seeing where we could position it. Then today, I managed to give our lawn it's first cut, albeit the grass was still damp. And of course, now we have green stains on the decking.

We went for a decent grade of decking, so not sure if it is related to the surface of the decking, or whether it will just mark anyway.

Does anyone have any methods of cleaning the marks off it?

What is the make and do you know what it is made from?

Looks to me like it may be made from recycled polystyrene from the cleaning instructions as it says no organic solvents should be used.

Seems that you can only use the recommended cleaners as per the attached file.

Good luck.
