I rarely use a pressure washer if so I get the head far from the surface as to be careful not to damage the wood. Usually I use an 8:1 ratio of water:bleach mixture (this is not very different from the commercial cleaners you can buy, ever smell them? kind of bleachy smelling?).
#1. Sweep off deck. #2. Wash of deck with garden hose and spray nozzle. #3. Using garden sprayer mix-up bleach mixture and spray on deck liberally, (Sam: that means use a lot not hire a democrat). #4. Wait about 15 minutes, then use a scrub brush attached to a broom stick. Scrub lightly, do not scrub with brute force or you will tear up the wood and make it fibrous. #5. Rinse the deck thoroughly and let it dry. It is best to do this on a warm and sunny day. The sun helps bleach the deck. Make sure to cover plants so as to protect them from the overspray. Bleach and plants do not mix well.
