Stains on Deck

[Old Harry]

I have just installed some old jarrah decking and the timber has various oil stains etc on it. What would be the most effective method of remoing stains? do I sand or is another product available?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi
There is a product you can get from Bunnies, that will take oil off driveways, dont know if its suitable for timber though, might be worthwhile reading the label.

There is a product from Cabots called Deck clean or something like that. It seems to be pretty good at getting stains off the wood - not sure about oil stains though. It is oxalic (??) acid, so it can be pretty potent, depending on how much you dilute it.
