Did this job yesturday and although the customer was happy they were concerned with the brown staining that they didn't know was under the dirt, I explained I believed it was staining from ferrous sulphate used in moss killer which they had applied to their lawn. Do you agree? Can it be removed?

I had a window cleaning customer who had exactly the same. He said the gardener had put weedkiller down and spilt some on his slabs. The slabs were immaculate. Just for the hell of it, I tried a fairly weak hypo and wire brush, didn't even touch it.

No need I'm going to order some Monty solution and use that
or I could use an acidic solution.
But in reality they are not too bothered and are overall very pleased with the clean so will leave it, I just was asking out of professional interest

If your satisfied with half a job leave it! If not Pre wet it with water then apply Miracle Heavy Duty Cleaner (Acid Substitute) Scrub it in with a Mono Rotary and extract, possibly add some Honing powder if required, rinse and it's done!
