There is no reason why a pack of timber has to be unpacked before use unless you are pre coating with a timber stabilizer oil or you are air drying green timber.

Unfortunately no cleaner is going to get that off. After 5 years of accumulated film forming coatings you are never going to see the timber grain, it all looks like a bad paint job. It's time to...
