Well yes a pressure washer around 500psi will get all the oils and debris from the wood. If you put a clear sealant over the wood it will turn the wood gray in a year so you would have to spray every year and re-apply the clear sealer. Now normally if you would use a wood stain you would not have to rent a pressure washer every year since that would strip it off. You can also during the summer if the deck looks dirty clean it with simple green since it does not contain any harmful chemicals.
