You can also during the summer if the deck looks dirty clean it with simple green since it does not contain any harmful chemicals.

My deck faces the east, so it doesn't get a tremendous amount of sun, so perhaps I'll get more life than those who face the south.
I'm a little confused about the above, so I just want to clarify-if I would pressure wash and apply a clear UV sealer, I can maintain the same look as new? Just seemed like you said if I apply a clear sealer, it'll turn gray anyway.
