Indian sandstone cleaning & black spot removal
Indian sandstone patios bring a natural, elegant charm to outdoor spaces, but maintaining their beauty is a challenge. Owners of Indian sandstone patios soon realise that they start to go green from the minute they are laid. This is due to the high porosity of the stone. After the green algae comes lichen…this usually forms as “black spot.”
Indian sandstone cleaning and the removal of the black spot that occurs on it.
Anybody who has tried to remove black spot from Indian sandstone will testify it’s virtually impossible using conventional pressure washing methods. Unfortunately, many homeowners assume that pressure washing alone will restore their patio’s appearance. The reality is different. Pressure washing might remove surface dirt, but it doesn’t penetrate deep enough to eliminate black spot.
What’s worse, excessive pressure can cause damage to the stone and it’s pointing, leading to costly repairs. The delicate structure of Indian sandstone makes it particularly vulnerable to this kind of damage, which can result in weakened joints, erosion of the surface, and ultimately, the need for premature replacement.
We have devised a method for treating and removing this type of organic staining without damaging the substrate below or the pointing. Our professional approach ensures a deep clean that restores your patio’s original beauty.
Indian Sandstone Cleaning in Preston, Lancashire
Today we were in Preston in Lancashire cleaning such a job. Please have a look at the before and after images of our work. The patio had suffered years of neglect, accumulating layers of black spot and algae.
The homeowners had tried everything—pressure washing, scrubbing, and chemical cleaners—but nothing worked.
The stains had become deeply embedded, making the patio look aged and unkempt. Using our advanced treatment, we were able to break down and remove the staining effectively.
The transformation was remarkable, restoring the patio’s original vibrancy and making it look as good as new. Our satisfied clients were thrilled with the results, and their patio is now a clean, welcoming outdoor space once again.

Common Mistakes in Indian Sandstone Cleaning
Many homeowners unknowingly damage their sandstone while attempting DIY cleaning:
1. Using Too Much Pressure:
High-pressure washing can erode the stone’s surface and weaken the pointing, leading to long-term structural damage.
2. Using the Wrong Cleaning Agents:
Harsh chemicals can discolour and degrade the stone, causing irreversible damage.
Some store-bought cleaning solutions contain acidic components that can react negatively with the minerals in Indian sandstone, leading to pitting and dullness.
3. Ignoring the Root Cause:
Surface cleaning doesn’t address deeply embedded black spot lichen. Without proper treatment, it will return quickly.
Many homeowners believe that a quick wash is enough, only to find that their patio starts turning green again within weeks.

- Targets and removes black spot lichen at its root

Most cleaning companies apply the same method to every surface—brick, concrete, paving slabs. But Indian sandstone is different, and If a cleaner doesn’t understand this, the results are often disappointing.
The stains may fade temporarily but will return soon after. Our expertise lies in the precise treatment of delicate stone surfaces.
We don’t apply generic washing techniques; we use a method specifically designed to penetrate sandstone’s porous surface and break down organic staining at its root.
