It will stain/ protect best with cleaning, but you can buy a foaming cleaner that will remove the graying and black mildew and restore original color, and use a regular hose/ scrub brush and you can clear coat get a "Honey" color  transparent stain/ protector that will get it back very close to the original, or you can change to "cedar" for an orange tint (and "redwood" for a (darker) red color

                         I had a pergola made about three years ago.  The carpenter used treated outdoor wood.  I really don't know what kind.  Now that I'd like to stain it I wonder if it has to be pressure washed because it has turned a little grey.  Can you stain without cleaning it?
