Deck Cleaner is a very aggressive cleaner. It has to be this way in order for it to be able to clean without scrubbing. Deck Cleaner contains sodium hypochlorite (bleach) and may lighten the wood. This is also part of its cleaning process. If the wood is weathered, degraded wood fibers may give it a fuzzy appearance. Remove by high pressure garden hose or light sanding.
