Rust And Other Stains On Limestone..


I have a few rust stains and other stains on some limestone. I guess when you install 350 linear feet of limestone treads, you will get some stains on a few.

What is best to remove these stains? I tried something called 'limestone restorer' and it did nothing.

That is a tough stain to clean. 800 stain remover will do it, but may damage the finish. I would try Vanatrol first, and if that doesn't do it, test the 800 on some scrap.

(ProSoCo products, named, other brands will work too, so long as you make sure that it is the proper one for the material and the stain)
