Hi, new to this site, and it's very helpful. I just moved into a new house last year, and I am now tending to our deck. It looks like treated wood which has not been stained previously, probably less than 5 years old, but was showing a lot of gray and mold. I pressure washed it, which really cleaned it up. This left some fibrous material behind, so now I plan to sand it in preparation for staining and sealing.
My question is - after pressure washing and sanding, do I need to apply cleaner and brightener still? Or can I proceed with staining after sanding?

Thanks - but just for clarity - "Yes" refers to which:
1) after sanding, perform clean/brighten, then stain
2) go ahead and stain after sanding, no clean/brighten needed
