I would use Wet & Forget for a long term solution. or to just get it off til next spring, I would use Moss Out in the hose attachment bottle and spray it on.
We power wash the deck and it removes the mold and moss well. You can rent the machine.
Try a deck cleaner and a broom to clean it.
Vinegar
Try not to power wash your deck. A carpenter told me it is one of the worst things you can do to the wood, long-term, and he'd never power wash his own deck because it can damage the wood fibers. If you want to just clean it, get a good cleaner and a good scrub brush (some come with a long handle, like a push broom) and use only a garden hose.
If you want to save yourself a lot of scrubbing, Wet and Forget is a great product, it worked to clean all the mold/algae from my deck and patio. You might have to do a couple of applications, a few weeks apart, if it's really bad.
I tried wet and forget it did a great job even got the green stuff off the side of house thanks
Either Moss Out, I prefer the liquid for this application in the hose attachment bottle - available in most homestore garden centers. Or Wet and Forget is another product but a bit pricer.
