Bleach meets percarb

Question

How is this for furrying up the line even more.. On a whim I bought some sodium percarbonate loaded laundry detergent that was compatible with sod. hypo. In a five lb bucket mixed 2 gallons 12.5% with 2 gallons of water then added the entire bottle of liquid detergent. Foamed up like percarb does. Contents settled and we downstreamed on. Was very fast, mold melted and vertical areas where stain was still beading it broke the surface for penetration.

The test subject was a 20 year old deck that I restored and sealed two years ago with Cabot's Clear Solutions - Cedar tone. The Cabot's held up remarkably well for a deck that gets sun most of the day.. proper prep. Anyway, nothing great, just wanted to share and get opinions. Am I kidding myself and would bleach have done the job on it's own (breaking the surface oil to allow penetration)
