I have a huge tigerwood deck. It has crd sikkens stain on it. I have got everything off the railings with is stripper. I am having some trouble getting the stain off the floor. There are someboards where it is not coming completely out and when I scrub more it causes some maeks. see the picture. Will these mark show up when stain with restore a deck natural? Should I leave the stain that will not come off? I dont want to damage the boards. Or should I just sand the floor?

We will reply to your comment shortlyAre you pressure washing after applying the stripper? Make sure that you brighten the wood after all the stripping is done.
Try to remove as much as possible. It seems that most is removed in the picture. The brightener should help as well to even out the appearance some.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI am power washing and brightening while it is still wet. It is different boards which the stain remains. The stain will just not come off these particular boards even with scrubbing. I will send a picture of the board.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHere are the photos. It tends to be the weaker boards thathat it wont come out of. That is why I am wondering if I should sand the floor instead because I dont want to damage the boards.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWhat level of grit would you reccomend since most of the floor is stripped? Sand, vacuum, wash, brighten and then stain and in that order? I may just stain the floor this year since most is removed and sand the floor next year if I have issues with uneven fading as the railings have been completely stripped and those should not need to be sanded.
