We have had good luck using Formula 409 but not on unfinished wood. Hot
soapy water on a rag might do it. Doubt you can get it all without some
sinking into the unfinished wood. If you have some of the stain, you
can touch it up.

Try rubbing it off with plastic scrubber first.

Very hot water...let the paint soak a little...it may then come off
with your fingernail.
