IPE deck cleaner

[Rich P]

After a fairly thorough power washing, it looks like I'm going to have to use a deck cleaner to get things in decent shape. In the past I've used Messmer's which works OK with some scrubbing and occasionally requires a second application. Before I head down that path again, I thought I would ask if anyone has other suggestions. TIA.

I wonder how simple green would work?

What you do to the deck will depend on what you want it to look like. Ipe will get silvery withing 6 months to a year. It needs no maintenance or finish. If you prefer to keep the brownish wood look, pressure washing is usually the method. Penofin deck oil will retain the wood coloring with light applications as needed.
