Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @hellyestess. It's great to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about removing stains.

Could you please tell our helpful members a little more about the issue you're trying to solve? That way, they'd be much better placed to offer useful suggestions. Also, some images would assist. Let me know if you need a hand uploading them.

I presume these are splashes of decking stain that have landed on the paint? If so, initial cleanup can be done per the direction on the can, which is with turps. If the stain has had time to seep into the paint, then I'd suggest it would be difficult to remove as it would have penetrated into the paint instead of sitting on top of it. In that case, you'd likely be looking at repainting the area.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
