Re: how do I clean black stains from my hardwood deck?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @gobree. It's great to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about deck cleaning.

The first step would be to thoroughly clean your deck to see if that improves the appearance of the stained area. Here's a helpful guide: How to clean a deck

 

Give us an update once you've done so and if the stain remains I trust our helpful members will be able to provide some alternative options.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi @gobree 

 

If  @MitchellMc  wash will show you whats  need ed on your deck.  But to my  eye  there is alot of color  changes from front to back and maybe time tor a light sand and re stain and sealing.  It might be my imagination   are those nail heads nearly sitting proud  if so time for  nail punching so sand paper ripped less.

 

I dont think it is a big task as your deck looks in great condition otherwise.
