If its stain, that means it has penetrated the wood, albrit, not all

would probably need to use a material - maybe ground walnut shells? -
that is gentler than sand.


As well, simple pressure washing may work well enough. It depends on
the condition of the wood and the stain. I have had great success
using a pressure washer on stained wood, but it all depends...


Good thought. It is certainly something the OP should try first thing.
