Re: How to clean the stone feature having buildup thru winte BTW would I find the DuPont's Stonetech sealer at home Depot or Lowes. If not then does anyone know where can I find them in North Dallas.

Re: How to clean the stone feature having buildup thru winte Thanks for your response. I am going to try the stuff and pressure was first.
