Rent a power washer from Home Depot. How old is the paint and what kind is it?
Hi Deborah, here's a handy tutorial that will show you how to go about it - https://homeguides.sfgate.com/power-wash-exterior-deck-remove-paint-77441.html
A power washer is the way to go. If you don't own one, they can be rented from diy stores.
I'd avoid a power washer as it can do a lot of damage to the wood if you're not careful. Shooting water into wood is never really a good idea. The best way to do it is strip it or sand it.
