I often find scrubing with a brush is actually easier and quicker
thabn using a pressure washer. These things have become a DIY play
toy. The last time I did this I used TSP and bleach solution in a five
gallon bucket and brushed it on with a scrub brush on an extension
handle. Start at the top and work down in about 4ft wide sections.
Give the bleach a little time to work thin rinse.

You have just validated my long-standing decision not to buy a
pressure washer; I never could see where I came out ahead with one!
