What to know about cleaning flagstone
Flagstone covers several stones, including sandstone, slate, bluestone and limestone, and they react differently to pressure and chemicals. Softer sandstone flakes if blasted, and mortar joints need care.
Avoid: High pressure on soft or layered stone, and acids on limestone.
How often: Every 1-2 years.
