Default Deck cleaning, protectant

I have a 1 year old pressure treated deck, that is in need of cleaning and
protected. I have heard not to pressure wash. What cleaner and sealer is
the best quality?


I use the Behr deck wash (green bottle) with a bucket and stiff
brush. Wash down with garden hose/jet nozzle (not power washer!).
Let dry 24 hrs. Apply Behr silicone based deck stain or paint with
foam pad. Let dry 24 hrs for light foot traffic, 48 for furniture and
heavy use.
