Stain is applied to wood before any sort of sealer

stain enhances the color of wood to bring out grain

different densities of wood absorb the stain at different rates

paint, varnish, lacquer seal out water after a stain is applied.

Lately stain is hard to find the one step idea stain,sealer, clearcoat all in one is the norm the results are so much inferior i have no idea how they can sell that junk.

perhaps that is why you can find so much nice furniture on trash day

How do you clean wood stain on drywall?

You can wash it off with a moist sponge, but it is likely going to still leave a stain. Drywall is very porous. It is basically paper over chalk. There is just no way to remove some stains. If you want to paint over, but the wood stain keeps bleeding through, cover the stain with a product like Killz. It sometimes takes a couple of coats. Once the Killz is totally dry, the stain should quit bleeding though. It can then be painted over. Just keep in mind, if you are using a water based paint, use water based Killz. If you are using an oil based paint, use an oil based Killz.
