Cleaning stone

Just how sad are we? 😂

 

I went over each flint last night with a small, soft stone in the Dremel:

What I need to find is maybe a spray lacquer that will give the flints a wet look and at the same time seal and protect the mortar. Ideally it'll get in the gaps if the mortar has shrunk away from the flints though so far so good. Hopefully that's the plasticiser and lime working.

  • I use wet and forget for green build up on paths etc. I think the brick acid would be a better shout

  • I use this, found it very good

I just remember being impressed you'd managed to pi$$ that high and stain the grout so uniformly. 

I use patio cleaner like that for getting the algae off of fences. What I found is that just brushing on and leaving it works best. It's greatly accelerated by sunlight too. Sometimes it takes a week to fully work. Any of that wall pointing South?

That particular wall I don’t think points south . My pants do though
