We just had a discussion on that the other day. People here are not as bad as other places, but the search function will help a lot on simple questions.

Oxalic acid, a.k.a "wood bleach". I get mine as crystals at Ace Hardware. Put about 1" of warm water in a bucket. Shake some xtals in...swish till they dissolve. Apply to the affected area, wait a couple mins, then rinse with water. Wear heavy gloves and dont breathe the fumes. Also works like magic on the brown hull stains. I belive barkeepers friend is the same ingredient.

Oxalic acid is the ticket. Hull cleaners usually have it. Barkeepr's Friend is Oxalic based as well.
