Kevin,
What I was getting at, with askthebuilder is his way of getting his message across have a look at his web-site sometime, it is not all good advice.
But you are totally right, bleach is still in my opinion the best way to clean a deck, just make sure you know what wood you are cleaning as hardwood & softwood decking are 2 different beasts. Hardwood it is best to neautralise are a bleach wash.
