Help pls - stains on new limestone deck

[camedia]

Hi , I’ve had a pool for all of one month and am beginning to see stains all over the limestone patio. Suspect its from organic stuff like leaves or berries.

Can anyone suggest how to clean it? Pressure washing with just water didn’t remove it.

Is there anything like wet n forget that I can spray on and just let it work?

Many thanks!!!

There are more experienced posters here that may have dealt with this before. I would try distilled vinegar in an inconspicuous spot to see what type of reaction vinegar has with the limestone decking. If you don't see anything negative, then pour a small amount of vinegar onto the stain. After putting the vinegar on the stain, cover it with cat litter to absorb it.

You could also go stronger than vinegar. Like Electro Solve contact cleaner, again in an out of the way corner first.

Search for "limestone cleaner" on amazon or google. There are a half dozen products there with some good reviews. I've used the Simple Green Stone Cleaner indoors but not on limestone. It says limestone on the label though.
