During a windy storm the other night, a small garden torch filled with citronella/lamp oil fell over. The oil leaked out onto the deck and stained/soaked into the board (5/4 x 6 PT). The spot is small, about 1 foot long by 6 inches wide. What is the best way to remove the oil? I scrubbed it with concentrated deck cleaner and a stiff brush, but the spot is still stained and oily to the touch. Is there any problem with just leaving as is? My guess is that it will eventually evaporate. If the stain remains, I can just put a flower pot over it.
Thanks in advance!
