Porous stone like sandstone and limestone soaks up dirt and organic growth differently to sealed porcelain or dense concrete, so we adjust pressure, chemical dwell time and rinse approach to the actual surface in front of us, not a one-size-fits-all wash.
Proper treatment means killing the lichen and algae first with a biocide, letting it work, then cleaning the dead growth away. It takes longer than a straight pressure wash but it's the only approach that actually lasts.
Indian Sandstone
- Indian sandstone is porous and slightly variable in hardness between batches, which means it can hold onto black spot lichen and algae stains more readily than denser stone. It responds well to biocide treatment followed by gentle steam or low-pressure cleaning rather than high pressure, which can strip the natural texture off the surface.
- Sealing is often worthwhile on sandstone once it's clean and dry, as it helps resist future staining and makes the next clean considerably easier.
