technique -1
Buy one of those large boxes of baking soda, and a large bottle of vinegar (how much depends on how big your deck is).
Wet your deck down with the hose
and then sprinkle the baking soda all over.
You can just sprinkle the vinegar around out the bottle or you can get a spray bottle and spray it around,
it should "foam" up when it hits the baking soda.
Let that sit for a few min.
Then take a broom ( I recommend a push broom) and scrub it into the wood.
Rinse off with the hose and let dry!
The Baking Soda serves as a soft abrasive and cleaner, and the vinegar serves as the "acid" to "eat up" the dirt.

technique -2
I mixed 8 tablespoons Sodium Percarbonate (oxygen bleach) in a gallon of hot water and applied it to the deck using a garden sprayer (manual pump). Left it 15-20 minutes before using a deck brush quite vigorously. The crud that came off is unbelievable. It's hard work but I did it 6-8 boards at a time then rinsed with a garden hose on a pretty average setting. Took me most of today to do the deck which is about 20sq metres (but I get breathless easily) .

technique -3
Mix oxygen bleach with water in a bucket. Oxygen bleach is an environmentally-friendly cleaner that does not harm nearby plants, unlike chlorine bleach. Read the instructions on the bottle of bleach to determine the recommended ratio of water to bleach.
And Here!
