Regarding this, how do you remove stain from wood?
Some of the stain may linger after scraping. To remove it, dampen a soft, fine-grade steel-wool pad with more paint stripper and rub it against the wood, following the wood grain, then wipe off the softened stain with a rag. If the stripper requires rinsing, use the method the manufacturer recommends.
Pressure washing removes all but the most durable deck finishes, but that's not all it removes. The high-pressure stream of water is effective against finishes because it is actually capable of removing the layer of wood to which the finish adheres.
