Bleach is the working ingredient that attacks the mold and mildew and will turn a crummy looking deck into a clean look'n deck. It takes about 24-hours for the bleach to do its' thing. Just sponge the bleach-water-detergent on, and let it sit till it all evaporates. Using a hand pump, garden style sprayer is a good way to cover area fast like for ballisters or stairs.

We had a nice 24' party barge what we used to use on Arlington pond down in Derry NH. Had a small Evinrude outboard motor to get her about.
She was set on four 55 gallon drums, had all the proper bow and aft lighting.
After getting serious about boating on Winnipesaukee, we dismantled, and took her up and made a deck on the camp at Paugus Bay. Still had her bow and aft lights on cept the camp was way up on a hill with tons a trees so you couldn't see her from the Lake... Not long after, the deck started to getting them moss clumps on her, so I got the bleach, hot water and street broom, maybe some California Bop twixt, and she was like new that same day!
There were so many trees on the lot that we had to replace the roof on the camp and take some of the trees down to let some sun in. I had to rent a stump grinder to take the stumps down below ground level. Well, to make a long story short, I will go away now...
