To power wash or not to power wash?

What is the quickest and easiest way to remove mildew from siding? I have heard that power washing can lead to water damage behind the siding. Is there an eco-friendly product to that I can use with a brush to remove the mildew? Also, is there any way to prevent it from coming back?

    Our mold remediation expert from the University of Wisconsin Madison recommends the ammonia ...»
    and water solution. Diluted down to the 3 to 1 mix it is not harmful at all. Ammonia is used in several cleaning products from glass cleaners to counter top wipes and is far safer to use in a spray than bleach. On the container it gives you several ways to use the ammonia to clean, and all of them are listed as to how it should be diluted for each type of cleaning you need. Of course as with any chemical, you need to use it carefully, and not if you are allergic to that chemical. I'm sure if a train car of bleach spilled, Hazmat would also be called in. It's standard procedure for all chemical spills.
