Natural stone pavers are one of the greatest choices for patios, walks, and roads, but they are prone to natural changes like oxidation.
Any natural stone will oxidize over time, but with the correct cleaning solutions and a little patience, you can easily remove it so you can enjoy your new space without any unsightly marks.
Other elements, such as automobiles and metal garden furniture, might leave rust deposits on your stone's surface, which are simple to remove. We'll teach you how to do it down below!
What Is Natural Stone Paving Oxidation?
The porosity of the stone and the minerals present within it cause oxidation in pavement. When exposed to moisture, some natural stone pavement, such as Granite and Kandla Grey Sandstone, contain iron that can be attracted to the surface. This can cause the stone to change color in some areas, leaving orange or brown scars behind.
When water runs over metal fixtures or fittings and trickles down to your paving, iron particles from oxidation (rusting) are deposited in your paving, causing oxidation streaks.
Rust stains are widespread on driveways from automobiles, but they can also be seen in patios and paths with garden furniture, as well as barbecues, fire pits, and other similar garden equipment.
