I messed up and didn't cover the ground properly while staining wood on my patio, and now there are some stains on the concrete. I'm wondering if muriatic acid would be a good solution to remove these stains?

You could try using mineral spirits; they might do the trick for you. If that doesn’t work, chemical strippers and a stiff brush can help too! Just a heads-up though, if you’re thinking about using acid, consider starting with something milder, like citric acid. Muriatic acid is pretty harsh and can etch the concrete, making it more prone to future stains.
That’s good to know! I've heard muriatic acid can be risky. It’s better to use something gentle first.
