<div>Depending on how much dirt is on the boards, I think Dave's idea of a stiff broom is what I would probably try first.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If that doesn't take care of the problem then, I would try a flapper sander or 60 grit paper either on a belt sander or orbital sander.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Either way make sure to mask up.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Good luck</div>

boards on the ground and give a good brooming then vacuum off the loose stuff. Something like this maybe??</span></div>

<div class="yiv4241793920MsoNormal">The stack of red oak I bought awhile back has a large number of boards that are dirty from a sandy soil.. I've brushed, vacuumed and blew off with compressed air.. A time consuming task..What's the group thoughts getting the boards clean?
I've considered pressure washing..Dont know what that would do to moisture content.. 13.6% now.. Or.. Bushing & Vacuuming.. THEN..using my old planer blades, run them through. I believe this may remove the crud and I can always resurface with the new blades
when I use them.. Hairbrained idea??? </div>
