bleach the chair, wash the chair, sand the chair(the bleach and water will raise the grain of the wood, so you need to sand it to smooth it again. or spray it with a LIGHT bleach solution then dark stain it or paint it you shouldn't need to sand it or just sand it lightly if you do that

I speak from experience, when I set about refinishing a set of very weathered, mildewed, downright grimy! adirondack chairs, I experimented with different cleaning methods. One I scrubbed with ammonia/water/squirt of dawn mixture and the other with bleach/water/squirt of dawn and the best results by far were from the ammonia mixture. It took off all of the black and green discoloring and left the wood a lovely warm shade vs. the bleach mix which turned all the green mildew to a black color and failed to remove the majority of the black discolorations. Additionally, the areas that the bleach mix did clean down to bare wood were left a grayish ash color, nothing like the other turned out. So I re-cleaned it with the ammonia mix and got much better results but there is still a noticeable difference in the colors of the wood.

Bleach is the #1 killer of mold or mildew. Just sponge it down with a mix of 1 cup bleach to a bucket of water. Let it sit, then brush it down and hose off. You may need to do it a second time if it's really badly stained - but it should do the trick.

If it's mildew, pretty much two things will kill it:
-sunlight (UV light will destroy the mold's DNA)
-bleach. Make a dilute solution per bleach bottle, and add a drop of detergent. Wash with lots of clean water. Repeat until it is gone.
If the mildew is extensive and deep in the wood pores, it will take longer to kill/remove.
