Greetings all

Sod's law that the weekend after our newly laid Indian sandstone patio is ready to enjoy, we spill vegetable oil in a few spots here and there during the inaugural barbecue.

Last night a few hours after the oil was spilled, I covered each stain with talcum powder. 12 hours later, having jet washed the powder off, the stains were still there.

So I humbly ask for advice on what to do try and remove it. Can anyone point to a product I can buy to apply? Or a service that could help?

For the record, we have Brett's riven Indian Sandstone ...

Very many thanks in advance!

Andy
