Stupidly, I didn't realise that lawn fertiliser could stain paving, so despite brushing the paving after using fertiliser on the adjacent lawn it's still quite stained. :(

The paving is an ivory sandstone and the supplier has recommended their own product; Pavtuf Rust Remover (which I note is non-acidic) but it's terribly expensive at £33 per litre.

I will (resentfully) pay this if it does the job far better than other products.

Question: Does anyone have any experience with this? Alternatives?? (Lithofin Bero or Lithofin Rust-ex)

The Pavetuf rust remover should get most of it off, I have tested it and it isn't to bad, we usually use a different product ( a Limestone restorer) with a floor buffing machine and honing powder.
