you can pressure wash it with a little bleach mixed in and it will rejuvinate it pretty good.
Pressure washers work well in this application.
People need to be aware of how they go about it though. Never wash against the grain, this causes fuzzing of the wood and washes away the grain if you apply to much pressure. With most home owned or rented pressure washers, there is no way to determine the operating pressure, it's preset to around 1200- 3000psi depending on what machine you have.
Anything over 1200 psi can damage the wood. The best way to avoid this is by using the 45* orifice, and then getting the spray just close enough to begin removing the weathering or mildew and wash parallel to the grain.
