i used ronseal deck cleaner (Cost about £20 a tin and have used it about 4 times so far though the decking is approx 3m by 3m) , paint it on (its like wall paste) then scrub it with a brush leave it for 15-20minutes then powerhose it.
Came up very good.
Then used some decking oil (clear type)
However for money saving, soda crystals? are meant to be good.0 -
Try dilute bleach, it will kill the algae."You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0
