trying to get old paint stain off of a deck. Easiest way?{besides on my hands and knees and scrub brush}?

It is very old redwood stain on the deck. I have tried power washing. The best way I have found is a stiff scrubbing brush and muscle. I hope to stain the deck before too long and want most of the old stuff off because it is peeling.

    Latax use goof off product.
    Oil sandpaper.

    If power washing won’t remove the stain than try sanding your deck.

    Talk to your local hardware store and they can tell you a good stain remover (stripper) to use.

    Your best bet is a belt sander. Stain penetrates the wood so no matter how much you scrub, unless you remove the stained material it will always be there.

    You might consider a pressure washer. If you don’t have one, they can be rented.

    There is a better way, buy a scrub brush with a long handle, sorry, no short cuts here.

    I would look into renting a buffing machine and get a large sandpaper disk (they have them in some hardware stores). Since it is peeling, maybe even a long handled scraper. Sanding is probably the best way (still on your knees but less tiring than a scrub brush if electric)

    The question isnt whats easy its whats the right way…… strip that stuff off with a paint scraper, or a high pressure water thing( the one thats so strong itll break the skin if you point it at your arm). *the easiest way* is to call a deck guy and pay some big bucks, and thell tear that old rotting deck out for ya and put in a brand new deck in and you wont have to do a thing.-peace
