Hi, I have a cedar deck that was stained last summer with Cabot semi solid stain after we had sanded the entire deck. The stain is coming off, probably because we didn't use a brightener or cleaner. Much of the deck still has all of the stain intact. At this point do you recommend stripping or sanding or both? Thanks

it is peeling as the Cabot is a filming stain that does not soak in but dried on top of the wood. It will need to be removed and a stripper will probably not work. Best to sand it all off and then clean and brighten for the final prep. Use a true penetrating stain next time so you do not have to sand again.
