Hi:
We just finished a deck made of premium Redwood and when a storm hit we were told to keep it dry so we covered it with tarps. Well, some water got through and now we have spots of water stains. What is the best way to get rid of these stains or are we stuck with them? We have not had a chance to seal the wood yet.
Thank you for your help.

Oxalic or citric acid will remove the stains and even out the color of the wood.
