Here are some before and after pictures of a deck we cleaned. We did not stain it. It took 2 of us 7 hours. We had to haul about 1000 gal of water to do it.

Lenny when yopu said you used your house wash mix. What was the ratio? I have a deck that is coming up and not sure on what to use. I will try and post pics, if I can ever figure it out. Or I can email them to ya. MAybe you could give me some advice on what steps to take.
 
Hey John you turned me on to a/c stain & I am a happy man becaus of it. I got to loock at a breas-way tomarrow that has been painted. They want to strip& stain.
I am going to carry a test kit with me mabe 3/4 differnt strippers and see what works best. Any ideas?
 
We alway wash a deck when we do a house wash in case there is any spotting from the house wash with the same wash that we used on the house. No dwell just apply and rinse. For a deck wash only with alot of algae we mix at 25 to 33 percent. If we doing a strip we use Sodium Hydroxide about 6oz of beads to 5gallon and let it dwell for about 15mins just keep it wet. Then we rinse with a mixture of white vinergar about qt to 5gallon. Give it a day to dry then stain and seal. Be careful of pets and children ask home owner to not let them in area until it is dry. We had a snake under the deck recently and it ran it out fast.
