> pressure wash the rot and algea off the bottom

Be careful with the pressure washer, you can tear up the wood using too much pressure. There are different tips, use one that puts out a lower pressure.

Painters pressure washed my GFs house before painting and the guy that did it had no idea what he was doing, dug gouges in the siding on one side of the house.

Yea good call. Someone else suggested using a sponge with mildew remover, and I think that's the path I'll test first.

Spray hydrogen peroxide on the surface to kill everything.
