Ive tried a scrubbing brush (very labour intensive, took my half a day and sore knees!)and decking cleaner (only removed a little bit). I think I might need some sort of high power water jet but I dont know if that will destroy the decking. Please help!

By the way, there are some strange postings on here, I expected it to be all about keeping caterpillers off your cauliflowers and there seems to be a strange thread about the battle of the classes/sexes/post-menopausal stalkers which I was fascinated to read! Sara xx
Thanks very much for all your helpful comments - I think I will go with the power washer, being a lazy sort it sounds the most effortless way of removing the green gunge and I like to try to be conscious of the environment so dont fancy bunging loads of noxious chemicals on it. Sara x
