Cleaning products for Pennsylvania Bluestone |
Article Number: 1470 | Rating: Unrated | Last Updated: Tue, Jun 3, 2008 at 12:00 AM |
We have a home in West Vancouver and have paved the patio with Pennsylvania Bluestone. It has discolored over the winter and we wonder how best to clean it.
Dear Les:
Discoloration of stone (if you want to report that it has become of a lighter color) can hardly be rectified with cleaning.
What you're reporting – id I guessed it right – is not quite usual with PA bluestone. Perhaps it was color-enhanced by the factory to make it appear more appealing and now the color-enhancer has faded.
Perhaps you had your stone sealed at the time o the installation, and the discoloration could be a consequence of that. (No stone should ever be sealed when installed outdoors.)
Hard to tell.
Your best bet is to get hold a reputable stone restoration contractor and consult with him.
May I ask you now to please read and e-sign our Statement of Purpose at:

Ciao and good luck,
Mauri
