I'm with Martin, too cheap to pay the loft to do it. I conservatively apply straight Simple Green and scrub with a soft deck brush. Allow to soak, rinse, flip, repeat. Flip again and rinse. I do it in the yard...rather i get my wife to do it in the yard. It's not perfect and I don't get the repair but it is quick and effective. I have considered a once every five cycle where I seasonally do simple green and every five years take it to the loft.
