spilled stain on brick

[lshah72414]

Restaining a fiberglass front door with Minwax penetrating stain, Red Oak 215, and spilled  some on brick and cemented pavers. Any one have any idea on how to remove or am I screwed? Any help would be appreciated.[attachimg=1][attachimg=2]

When I was a newbie a construction I spilled a gallon of Minwax stain on a pressure treated deck.  Parts of my body puckered.

In your situation I would suggest you try muriatic acid wash and then rinse.  Maybe have to repeat.  May have a fading effect.

Obviously protect adjacent areas.

Will Muriatic acid affect the brick in any way?

My then new handheld airless in 2014, I used Behr Redwood #9 stain on a old picnic table just to try it out.  I spread out plastic over concrete but used the suggested tip size(never after that) for maximum over spray!  [sad]  Although faded, I can still see the outline and I believe a power washer been used on the concrete too.

You can try the muriatic acid.  It removed automatic transmission fluid stains on my pavers.

Looks like over half of the bricks with stain on them are laid on sand, so you might pull them up and reverse them to hide the stain.

They are cemented down and bricklayers sand was put in to keep weeds out.

Due to the texture of stone materials, solvents have only limited effect, in my experience. So when I spill paint on any form of stone, I remove it with a wire brush on an angle grinder or drill.  The stone will be discoloured because you'll see the original stone colour, but that will weather away over time .
