If I were to guess, it looks like dirt has imbedded into the stain.]]> Deck Stain Questions and Answers Scott Paul ~ Restoring Wood & Decks Since 1993 https://forum.deckstainhelp.com/deck-stain-questions-and-answers/armstrong-stain-turning-brown-quickly/#post-10473 https://forum.deckstainhelp.com/deck-stain-questions-and-answers/armstrong-stain-turning-brown-quickly/#post-10472 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 21:50:03 +0000 Deck Stain Questions and Answers Scott Paul ~ Restoring Wood & Decks Since 1993 https://forum.deckstainhelp.com/deck-stain-questions-and-answers/armstrong-stain-turning-brown-quickly/#post-10472 https://forum.deckstainhelp.com/deck-stain-questions-and-answers/armstrong-stain-turning-brown-quickly/#post-10471 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 14:59:26 +0000
I tried washing them with soap and water and a stiff brush, but that seemed to take most of the stain completely off.

My questions are, why did this happen so quickly (I was expecting to have to restain once a year or so), what should i do now about it and how do i prevent it from happening again.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

thank you
