Answer
It is best to clean your Duradek surface at least 4 times a year to maintain it's appearance. You can use hot water with a mild soap and scrub it with a soft bristle brush. For more difficult stains you can dilute some household cleaner. Be sure not to let any chemicals sit on the vinyl surface and to rinse well with fresh water.
