Deck Stain removal from concrete & stone wall
I made a bad choice when I hired a large, expensive company to stain an upper level deck.
I now need to figure out if there is a way to remove the deck stain they dripped and sprayed on my concrete patios and on a stone wall.
Pressure washing didn’t work. It is a couple of months old – any other ideas?
Thanks!

I'd think light grinding might get it off. I'd try sandpaper first.
Mix 4 cups of powdered oxygen cleaner with 5 gallons of water in a 5-gallon bucket.
Pour a small amount of mineral spirits over oil-based deck stain.
Pour another layer of mineral spirits and scrub the concrete again.
Inspect the concrete for any remaining stain.
Scrub the area with the oxygen bleach and water.
I've seen the hot water pressure cleaner that works great on stains. That should work also there.
