Hi Monica,
Your deck isn’t ruined…just the stain releasing from the wood.
Some questions 1st though…
* How high off the ground is your deck?
* What species of wood?
* How old is it?
* How has it been cleaned b4?
* What stains have been used b4?
The easiest way (believe it or not…) to change stains is to sand off existing stain.
* Rent a vibrating-plate sander, usually a 12″ x 18″ sanding-plate on the bottom.
* You have to buy a couple of sanding backer-pads & the actual sanding-sheets.
* Use 80-grit sheets.
Lemme know the info. asked above.
