How to remove Black Spots from your Patio
How do you get rid of those stubborn black spots of your patio?
Black spots on your patio can really spoil its appearance. You may have tried to remove them with a pressure washer or scrubbing but got nowhere and just accepted they’re here to stay.
This is where we can help with black spot removers that won’t damage the surface of your patio and not damage plants around it. Sandstone is particularly vulnerable to continuous pressure washing and start delaminating its layers.
You need a black spot remover that will gently remove those patio black spots and restore the colour of your patio.
Once complete you may consider sealing it to keep it that way – we can help with that too with our patio sealers!
Preparation
Apply the black spot treatment to a slightly damp or dry surface but not a saturated patio or paving surface. Avoid if rain is due within the time period expected to treat the surface.
Do not use in conjunction with acid based removers or cleaners.
