Hard work cleaning,and hopefully I don’t have to much of a problem getting it cleaned, Just keep doing what you’re doing, 👍👍👍👍👍🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I worked in a garage when I was younger and the boss dropped a bottle of tizer fizzy drink on the floor we laughed the next day the floor was like brand new where he dropped it so he got a load more and made us clean the whole floor with it what a barstard it did look good though it removed oil stains
That’s brings back memories tizer in the red bottle yeh didn’t know it was good for cleaning garage floors lol. Saying that you can clean coins with coke 👍🏴
Hi plant food may have caused the staining maybe ? unfortunately, granular fertilizer can leave stains on hard surfaces like concrete. It provides the macronutrients nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus, but it’s one of the still-essential micronutrients that can cause the staining: iron. Try Iron X its a iron fall out remover for car wheels and smellys like rotten eggs, jell like , goes purple when it starts to work on iron and safe on car paintwork so should be safe on slabs
That’s all new news to me the fertiliser part and yeh actually that might be the reason thanks for the input 🤜Yeh I used rust ex today same thing but violet 👍🏴
Gentle wire brush and blend the light back in , no cleaner will get that out , one thing I hate about natural products, look amazing when done but need to be in the perfect setting to stay that way , I always warn my customers of the downside to any natural product and leave it to them to decide
Especially if there’s a lot of trees close by with the algae that’ll always have a effect on the cleaning process, I’ve always been a fan of porcelain flat and much tougher but I still like the look of stone just got to keep on top of it more 👍🏴
Depends how deep they've gone in. Use a polishing pad on the grinder and try to sand them out without taking too much off and creating a divit? Do it somewhere where they cant see before you go in the middle of the patio. That's what I'd try, I dont know if it would work.
I did actually look into doing the same even priced a machine hire for it but mmm dunno could of been a good idea only need a couple of mm off 👍🏴
@tidybrickslandscaping I appreciate all of your video's mate. I'm a joiner, 21 years in the trade. I've laboured on brickys when I was an apprentice, so I know the struggle in and out. I've learnt a lot off your vids with the landscaping aspect. You always try to do a good job and I respect it because we're one in the same, a grafter can see a grafter. Sandstone, as you know is soft and pourus, maybe it's not that difficult to sand down and just take that few mm off and see what's underneath with the right tool. Just be careful of guoging it. It might be a good test to see how deep these stains actually seep into natural stone.
@tidybrickslandscaping We had to join an old stone lintel together once on a job when I was very young. The old bricky used a hand held carborundum stone to get the two pieces flush at the join, but it took ages. If I were you id probably get a decent orbital sander and buy a few stone pads for it. It will be a lot less aggressive as a grinder and might just take that stained layer off. But on your head be it mate.
@@SlightOfHand28 appreciate you watching my videos and the help I try to provide and yes I think I’ll keep a eye out for some old stone tiles that are heavily stained and do a test as I do think it’s a option still to grind a bit off 👍🏴
Probably been easier to take up the slabs and renew them guess they’d blend in in time. To be honest apart from furniture don’t put any pots on a patio. Client looks like they’ve done nothing to maintain the patio

A petrol pressure washer with a turbo nozzle, might look clean with electric but you'll be surprised how dirty it does leave them in comparison
I checked mine today it’s 140 bar so definitely could be improved 👍🏴

@@SlightOfHand28 I love a good test as I’d like to know myself if these ideas work 👍🏴
Bleach. Apply, brush in, leave it a week, then rinse off, if it hasn’t rain in the interim.
To,slow a week but yeh it could do it too over time 👍🏴
Toothbrush and bicarbonate of soda always does the trick tidy brick
And lots of spare time 🕰️👍🏴
Looks like iron stains to me need a iron remover think there is one called stinky stuff
Not heard of that one so I’ll check it out thx but I’m a fan of rust ex it’s awesome always worked well for me 👍🏴
Probably been easier to take up the slabs and renew them guess they’d blend in in time. To be honest apart from furniture don’t put any pots on a patio. Client looks like they’ve done nothing to maintain the patio
Those pots are a learning curve for a lot of people 👍🏴
we seal our Indian sand stone and haven't had any problems with pots.
@@eddjordan2399 good to here so it works 👍🏴
Biocide bac 50 , leave it for a few months and it will go , sodium hypochlorite doesn't always work on porcelain or honed stone
Arh thanks for that I’ll remember it next time I’m finding issues with rings 👍🏴
Hypochlorite should get anything organic off. The rings look like they could be rust based on the colour so maybe try the rust ex on them.
They were all plastic based but the rust ex did work a bit on one of em still dunno how 👍🏴
Being to fussy Scot its a patio and looks good stick the pots back
I’m definitely a fuss pot it’s all or nothing for me 👍🏴
Rust stains either smelly gel or F9 barc
Over here or states 👍🏴
32% Hydrochloric Acid.
Not on stone sorry porcelain maybe but certainly not honed stone 👍🏴
i use neat bleach
Still haven’t used bleach yeh just think it might take to long dunno 👍🏴
