Default New Deck: Clean Before Seal?

Is it necessary to apply deck wash before sealing a new deck
(new wood) with, say, Thompson's Plus?

The deck is about six months old. It is under a roof, so
technically it's the floor of a porch.

This is volunteer work. I appreciate any assistance. I have
googled and can't nail the answer down.


Only if it's dirty. As Mark said, Thompson's is really junk. You'd
be much better off with either Olympic or Sikkens.
