Deck Stain On Concrete

[rick77]

I've got a customer who has what appears to be deck stain drippings on the concrete patio below a wooden deck. I cleaned the patio with my surface cleaner, let the concrete dry then applied Barc F9. No success with that. I later tried One Restore with no success. Is there anything that will remove deck stain drippings from concrete?

I'm guessing it was an oil base stain? You could try some solvent like laquer thinner or degreaser or sodium hydroxide. Using your surface cleaner could just push the stain deeper in the concrete?

I'm pretty sure it's an oil based stain. I'll try a solvent of some sort. Thanks for the input!

Try Graffiti remover.

When the stain is old and has set it is hard to remove. You may have already done the best you can. Graffiti remover is a good idea.
