(More customer reviews)This is an amazing product. It works exactly as described on the container - it removes mildew, algae, and nasty stains on wood.
I have a deck with closely spaced white vertical 2x2 railing bars. The deck is on the shady side of the house, facing North. For years I've tried to get the mildew off those rails, green scrub pads, soap, simple green... nothing worked; until I used this product. I used a garden pressure sprayer, everywhere I sprayed this stuff, the black mildew disappeared in about three or four minutes, absolutely no scrubbing.
Some down sides to this product. It does have a fairly strong sanitizer / bleach odor. Once you flood the area with water, the smell disappears. Those vertical 2x2's are painted with solid white stain (I use Sikkens) and I tried this on white latex paint - this product didn't harm the paint at all. The main part of the deck is cedar and stained with a semi opaque stain (Sikkens again). Where the stain was fairly thick and built up, the deck cleaner lifted the stain, looking a lot like the effect of paint stripper. I tried it on a little area of concrete, and it didn't do a great job removing black mildew stains.
You may want to heed the instructions about trying this cleaner on a small inconspicuous area. If I wasn't expecting to remove most of the stain from my deck, I would have been very disappointed by the stain lifting. This project went great because I don't have to paint those darn white railings. Remember to rinse the area really well with a lot of water.
This is a great product. I can't believe that it removes mildew this well. It is a miracle to me.
Since there isn't a great product description here on Amazon, I'll highlight some information from the label.
Coverage - 625-750sq ft. When used as directed it will not harm most plants (mostly spray your plants with a lot of water before and after). For use on: decks, wood siding, shakes, shingles, and fenes. Also recommended for use on concrete, brick, stucco, tile, and vinyl. It may return the original green color to pressure treated wood. May cause a fuzzy apearance to wood previously damaged by pressure washing or excessive weathering. Application to new wood or newly sealed wood may cause spotting. May cause darkening of redwood. For periodic cleaning of TREX decks and other composite decking, apply and scrub with a broom. Slight yellowing is normal and will fade in a matter of days. Do not allow to come in contact with metal, fabric, floor coverings, or lawn furniture.

This review is a replicate across the three separate Amazon listings (at this time). Because Amazon does not always link products together, I've replicated the review for the different listings. Hopefully this will help people searching for this deck cleaner.
