I installed Trex years ago before they recognized the mildew issues with their formula. I power wash every year, but it looks far from new and even with a recommended deck cleaner, you can still see the mildew issue as the surface becomes quite soft. Later I installed a deck in a different part of the yard and used composite with a solid plastic skin. That is a much improved product. Still needs power washing every year, but it cleans up much nicer than the original Trex. And power washing got much easier when I bought a $75 14" diameter Briggs and Stratton rotary surface cleaner attachment. https://www.amazon.com/Briggs-Stratt...urface+cleaner
