How to clean paint off wood?

Yes Master! my apologies…im new to wood…I will read up.

I put a surface cleaner on a deck. You used a 2.5gpm machine. You messed up a customers deck and didn’t fix it.

Ahhh , I see the misunderstanding… I was starting out then… last year the 2.5 was all I had then.
The Deck Turned out perfect z(it was a Lady’s Mother house I did the whole house including the house-front & back porch which included a long wooden deck… in fact after the lady paid me for doing her mother’s she wanted me to do her House… it was just a dirty deck with old wood… no paint was involved.

What I messed up with the same surface cleaner was a different persons outdoor picnic table top that was out from the building under a BBQ shelter that had extremely soft wood… what it did was Fur the Wood on the table top…nothing major but taught me a lesson you can’t surface clean everything which is why I’m here learning also…Now you have me feeling guilty… Im getting my sander up & will try to rectify it next week end… Even though I got no complaints… It doesn’t feel right as you suggested… I’ve since upgraded in equipment. I will fix the problem. As it was a commercial place & are closed on the weekend I’ll just go out there & fix it heck I may even stain it for them…
