I recently stripped my old deck finish with bleach and a pressure washer. The only problem is that now I have a fuzzy look from the prssure washer. What is the easiest way to remove this without sanding the entire deck.

almparso,
You're not alone: if the PW doesn't cause them a scrub brush will. Most of the 'fuzzies' will disappear with a little time. Since you probably won't be barefoot on the deck over the winter, about all you need to do is remove them from the hand rails. Use a small block and some 80 grit sand paper and go over them lightly.

PS; next time don't use bleach on the deck; it didn't cause the fuzzies but it bleached all the color out of the wood.
Try some oxygenated bleach like Wolman's, or use an oxalic acid deck cleaner.
