For Cement Staining use AcidClean.
For Efflorescence (white mineral salts that can appear on a stone as it dries) use AcidClean. You will find a more specific article on removing Efflorescence by clicking here or see the article listed below.
For Mud you will find that PowerClean is best although you can try AcidClean if you already have some. A wet vacuum cleaner can be used to remove the cleaning solution and rinsing water which will do a much better job than using a mop or a hose.
For Rust Marks please see our article by clicking here.
For Algae use BioClean followed a few days later by Algerase. You will find a more specific article on removing algae by clicking here.
For Leaf and Plant Stains use BioClean.
For Bird Droppings use PowerClean first then treat any remaining coloured stains with BioClean. You will find a more specific article on removing Bird Droppings by clicking here.
