Anyone had any experience of dog pee staining sandstone flags? Some that I laid have a white stain in some of the recesses in the riven which is not particularly noticeable when the flags are wet but doesn't look good when they're dry.

Hi Tony,
No, they're called Modak rose and are pink tones.

I've not heard of a staining problem with the Modak. I wonder if it's summat to do with this particular dog and its diet?

Could be, the dog also sh*ts for England! Is it worth trying bleach to clean the flags?

If it's not too late, try Jeyes Fluid, but, as always, test it on a discreet corner first.
