We do use a mixture of TSP, water and bleach applied with a garden sprayer and rinsed off with a hose after a few minutes. I use an eight foot stepladder so that I can spray and rinse straight on.
That sounds like a terrific idea, plus hot water could be used, as well. All that stuff; tsp, water and bleach are all very cheap when used as directed, in small quantities, too. Bleach is amazing stuff for killing mold & mildew, when left alone to work for 24-hours, and what with the warmer and wetter summers for the past few years, the waterfront has basically turned into Mold & Mildew-City!

Black mildew spots that grow like a cancer have been showing up on my 50-year old, aluminum dock, and that never happened before.
