Thank you Deck Stain Help. May I ask if there is a particular deck cleaner you would recommend? The Trex people proposed Olympic Brightener and Wash or vinegar. Same question for recommendations on the solid stain. Thank you very much.

Just pressure wash it with a deck cleaner to remove the algae and mildew. You can apply a solid stain to the railings. Leave the composite unstained.

I verified with Trex that it isn't their product. House built in 2006, we are the 3rd owners. Owners number 2 likely did not do maintenance on deck, rails, steps. I am looking to clean and hopefully restore product. (If it is revivable, can/should I stain it in some fashion?) The posts appear to be painted wood in poor shape, can I use products recommended on both the composite and the wood. How low or high should I develop expectations?
