Regular laundry detergent, as well as dish washing detergent, can wash your deck just as effectively as a commercial deck cleaner. Mix the detergent with equal parts warm water and pour it on to your deck. Scrub the solution with a long-handled brush and then rinse the decking with water from a water hose. Detergents work on sealed and unsealed wood.
Clean the deck with a broom, and use a putty knife to remove debris that has lodged between the boards. There isn't any need to wash the deck before sanding unless it is covered with sticky deposits that will gum up the sandpaper. If so, mop the deck with a wood deck detergent and water.
