Hi,

I have a reasonably new patio, we have a fountain set into it, however, this fountain splashes a little, and this seems to have stained the slabs with what I can only assume is lime scale?

The solution is to use rainwater (I assume this will be ok!) this is not a problem, as I have installed a rainwater irrigation system, and have connected this fountain up to it.

The problem left is; how to remove the stain!

Here are some pictures, and I know, I need to sweep it!!

Thanks for any suggestions!

Someone must know!

Would it be OK to use brick Acid on this type of paving?

Hey Sparks,
Don't panic - everyone's thinking - Great photos - what is the paving?

I am not quite sure what it is called, but when it is cut, the cross section looks like it is full of stones!

DO NOT use brick acid unless you want to make the flags even worse.

Use hot water, detergent and a stiff brush.

Once you have the flags clean, consider using a sealant to protect them from further staining.
