Hi Roger. Unfortunately, I don't know exact prior attempts. I've seen them working before and noticed a standard Zep concrete cleaner in use, so that was probably the case here as well.
The stain itself is 8' long and yellow/orange--as if the lumber was dyed and the dye transfered while wet. May have been some pressure treat in the pile too so those chemicals may be part of it. Doesn't really have a mildew look to it (plus we are quite a dry location despite the storm that caused these issues).
