Cleaning Pollen Off Of Spray Decking

[y2kdread]

Hi Everyone -

I have a new pool and we are hitting our first spring here in North Texas. One of our oak trees has been dropping a lot of pollen onto the deck and pool and we've noticed that it's been staining the decking. I took out our small electric pressures washer which is 1,200 PSI to clean it up. In order to get the pollen off I have to be right on top of it, maybe half an inch from the decking. Is the pressure washer I have underpowered for this job or is there some other way to get the pollen off?

Also, how many psi can spray decking handle before it would come off?

Thanks!

Depends on what kinda spray decking but I’d be careful. 1200psi is not a very powerful washer though. Most of the rentals are in the 3000psi range.
