Default Rust stains on flag stones
In reply to Barb ) who wrote this in

Hi, I've got some horrendous rust stains on flagstones, from old cast
iron pation furniture.

What's the best way of cleaning these? Can it be done? I've tried
all sorts of the usual things and nothing really seems to work ...

Have you tried the trusty Karcher, using the solid (rather than fan) jet, at
very close range? Works for me. Presumably the stains are well into the
flags, but not over a very wide area?

There are other chemical means but they are largely unsafe.
