Planning on giving the deck an oil, and was thinking of using the Wickes
own decking oil ( http://www.wickes.co.uk/Decking-Oil/invt/170673 ).

Thought I'd give it a clean first - and I seem to remember Dave saying that
some of the cleaners have brightning agents etc in them. Looking at the
reviews of the Wickes cleaner it seems a waste of money - and no better than
washing up liquid!

So, anyone got any recommendations? Or should I just save a tenner and
power wash it and use a broom and a bit of fairy? :-)

Picked this up on a USA decking forum. Their product of choice seems to be
Napisan of all things. Makes sense because it contains sodium perborate
which is a bleach.

Tried the Wickes stuff, wasn't impressed.

Pressure washer works, but tricky to get a 100% even clean.

Try the Napisan & let us know.
