Pressure Washing Decking

[Evastar]

i've been pressure washing my decking but some of it is hard to clean, there's green and greyish patches that won't come off.

anyway i've put a mixture of diluted detergent and bleach all over it, how long should i leave it on for before i wash it off, and if i leave it overnight can it damage the wood? it's hardwood called bangkirai

dont think i would have used bleach,might have thought there were decking products.

Be careful mixing chemicals at home, some have very undesirable results. TSP, peroxide or lemon juice are good for cleaning decking. Once clean be sure to treat.
Bleach can and will damage wood.
