Another challenging black spot removal job. This didn't come out as well as i'd hoped, but turned out pretty well considering how old and prolific the black spots were.
The chemical used to clean this paving is sodium hypochlorite (SH) and can be purchased from Amazon, here's a link amzn.to/3UVErTU
Thanks again to Lee @BlastAway for the advice on the difficult rust stains, it was much appreciated.

Considering how it was from the start, that result is amazing. You’re dedication with the 5 applications is fantastic. Keep up the amazing work. Chris the Englishman in England.
Hey Chris, thanks very much. Really appreciate the great feedback and kind words. ✊👍
I couldn't agree with you more Chris!!
Looks great , I have a similar patio with great amounts of black spot - will the chemicals used kill my grass and plants as no way to isolate😢
@@johnpidgeon9521 Good question.
Best wishes on your back healing. Looking forward to seeing how much you can recover of the sandstone, beautiful stuff... Admirable persistence and improvement. That really sets off the home and yard now.
Stunning changes! From a low point you achieved fantastic results. Well done on perseverance!
Another fantastic transformation! The patio looks beautiful considering the damage to the stone.Your persistence definitely paid off. Your supervisor on this job is adorable. Great video!💝🇺🇸
Thanks very much Kimberly, how kind of you to say 😊. 🐶
Beautifully done. Love the Indian sandstone. You nailed it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much, so kind 😊
Gorgeous result Nick, you are determined to beat that black spot every time.
That's a pretty powerful before/after montage for only getting it 95% clean - looks terrific!!!
Many thanks Chris 👍
Amazing results, you've brought that pretty warm toned stone back to life! Surely the customers were very pleased. Well done! Binge watching. :) XO
Thank you! Cheers!
Crazy about the change. It looks so good now. That is dedication.
WOW! What a transformation! Just beautiful!
Thanks so much! 😊
Came out 1st class Nick , I've had a few like this and there is a lot of job satisfaction doing sandstone in that state to begin with. Cherry on the cake is when there sealed they truly look amazing as u know. Top work as ever cheers M
Cheers buddy 😊👍
I've seen others that just spray the soaping solution on and then pressure wash it off. You went the extra mile and actually scrubbed....not once, but five times! Above and beyond! Well done! It looks so good! Thank you for your hard work and dedication on a cold, wet, miserable day! Stay well and stay safe!!👍😎🇨🇱
Wow thanks, it's a really nice feeling when the effort I put in is appreciated like this, thanks so much, so kind of you😍
What is the soaping solution?is it a proprietary product or can one get it anywhere? If I could teleport you to work on my deck in Aust I would but unfortunately it's only available to Dr Who!
Wow!!! That looks amazing!
Amazing hard work. What a beautiful result. Loved watching. My side of the house is black and used Elbow Grease spray. Left it on for half hour and scrubbed most of it off. Couldn't believe it. Did another spray and scrubbed. Took me half hr to do 3 slabs lol so give up on the rest.😢
I love that dedication. Great job!
Thank you! Cheers Karen 🙂

No one could complain about that one mate, amazing job 👍🏻
Thanks mate 👍
It looks so so much better. Good job!
Thank you! 😊, so kind.
You did a great job as always, they look beautiful compared to what originally were.
Thank you so much Mirtha, you're very kind 🙂
Well done Nick and your a true pro!! 👍👍
Thanks a lot Jason, top man ✊
You looked like a Jedi at the beginning carrying Jack Bauer’s bag!! 🤣 Definitely a dangerous combination. Needed some mind tricks on that black spot.
🤣🤣 awesome, love it.
Like others have said, perseverance has been key here to an astonishing result and to the delight of your customer as well as those who have the pleasure of viewing your work on here. The difference before and after are just brilliant, well done 👍🏼 I did want to ask how you get the SH a little bit on the foamy side? Can you mix it with fairy or anything like that? Keep the videos coming 😅
What does SH stand for?
@@runswithcows Sodium Hypochlorite
@@TradesDigital Thanks
That was BAD!! Huge improvement from how it was initially. 🙌🏻
Nice one Neil, top bloke ✊
What a massive diffrence. I applaud your patience level. 5 times SH......😅 You are a PRO.
Hi Lakshmi, what a lovely thing to say, so kind 🤗
Came out brilliant considering how bad it was well done Nick 👏👏👏
Thanks a lot Colin, top chap ✊🙂
I loved the introduction, you spoke very naturally and the short way to do it suits you very well (you can leave the waterfall talk to Sid 😁).
Get well soon! And use it as an excuse to enjoy some good massages 😉
Thank you so much Tatjana, thanks for the super kind feedback and kind words, it's really sweet of you 😊.
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning 💚
Great job Nick!! Probably the worst you've tackled. Hope your back heals soon.
Aw thanks LuAnn, so sweet of you 🤗
I'd be more than happy with that mate 👍 hope your back gets better fella
Hey Bluebox, thanks a lot dude. Thanks too in regards to my back, just getting old and worn out bud. It comes and goes, but comes more often as the years roll by 😏 👍
came back to watch this one again, mental job xD great work man
Hey Sid, nice one dude. ✊👊
Well that was a pretty grim patio buddy, horrendous black spot like you said. Good job on the perseverance, sometimes the only way is to get the bucket and brush out and scrub away - did one similar last year and remember it took me 4 hand washes plus heat, customer said they never thought I'd get it clean. That came out well mate all things considered and looks totally transformed, great job mate! 👌
Looks amazing!!
Many thanks Claude ✊
Don't feel bad for not getting everything, still great job! Blackspot evolved to survive even the harshest conditions. Sometimes it just refuses to die.
Nice one mate, appreciate that dude ✊
Quality work. Looks ace
One of the best results I’ve ever seen. I’d call that success
Many thanks bud 👍🙂
Great work Nick as always. Will you let us know if you treat the rust stains at some point. Another video idea for you. 🤣🤣👍
That is some job! Fantastic fella!
Cheers mate 👍
Came out great compared to what you started with. If the customer still annoyed at the outcome, they can use a pumice stone and get some of those real bad spots out. Hand held plastic handle with a pumice stone is great on concrete and stone.
Great job sir.👍🏾
Great result considering how black some of the stones where!!! When you quoted did you think it would take 5 goes? It looked a small patio till you had to go over it about 7 times!!! Well done.
Thanks Ched 👍. Yeah, I had a feeling I was gonna be there longer than usual when I went to quote, looked more like black splodge than black spot, and that's never a good sign 👍
Well done with that! Great result. You will never quite get rid of every last spot on a job like that.
Hey Ashley, a huge thanks to a fellow TH-camr. Your comments much appreciated bud, as I know you've been there and done this, and actually know what you're talking about. Top man, cheers 👍
Keep up the good work.👍🏼
Looking brilliant now!
Looking good mate real nicely done job you should be pleased
Thanks George, appreciate that bud 👍
WOW!! I didn't think you would be able to get it that clean!! 5 times you washed that down!! Amazing work! It looks beautiful!!!❤
Thanks so much! 😊, you're very kind
Awesome Work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Looks way better. Good job
Many thanks Phoebe 😊
You did another great job on that as usual 👍
Nice one mate, thanks for the great comment 🙂👍
Great video as always 👌🏻
Legend! Cheers mate
Class job mate 👍big shout out from wales 👍
You put in amazing time and effort on this one. Just really nasty stuff. It looks SO much better! Hope you feel better real soon, take care.
Amazing job as usual pity they didn’t seal the sandstone when it was laid to make it less porous and easier to clean
Fantastic job mate. 👏
Thanks a lot Ray, top man 🤜🤛
Thanks a lot Ray, top man 🤜🤛
Proper tough job that man
Fantastic job👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great job, I started one today which is worse than that… this has given me some hope! Lol. Time to get scrubbing
Lol, glad to have been some assistance, good luck with it Ross ✊
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning thanks, my heart sank today when I did the first rinse/fsc clean….
@@rosscraddock6241 😂😂 I feel your pain bud🤜🤛
Hi fantastic job I have the same patio Indian sandstone and black spot all over but not as bad what cleaner do I have to buy to clean it?
Thanks
I'd be worried what it might do to the stone, but to get at least the worst of the rust-crust off, I'd have probably gone at it with a Brillo pad.
Brillo pads are underappreciated. 🤗
Great video. Did you use the SH neat, or did you dilute it at all? Did you add anything to it to make it foam up like that? Thanks,
Great job. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you very much! Greetings to you from here in the UK
That looks loads better mate, the customer must of been ecstatic after seeing that transformation
Thanks a lot Aaron, nice one mate ✊
Amazing work Nick
Thanks a lot dude 😀
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning Very welcome. Enjoy your content. Did you go neat on the SH eventually?
@@markan79 Thanks mate👊. Went neat from the start bud. Would never normally do that, as most of the time it’s just not necessary. But as it was drizzling, cold, and really badly effected, I just hit it hard from the start. But even then, it still didn’t come out perfect. 👍
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning I did a job for a friend and had to use it neat a few years back. Baked on chicken 💩 but it came out brand new. Always thought about starting a business after picking up tips from you professionals but ive competition in my area so.......
Wow looks great
Thanks Baloo 😊
That is a top job!
Looks so much better! unless I missed it, was is the 50/50 solution you were using with the brush?
Thanks Jenny, no I used neat 15% sodium hypochlorite 👍
Amazing Muchacho, really great work…for your back: take gelatine, collagen and plenty fresh Vit C.
I’m doing one slab at a time and sealing immediately after. I can fit in half hour here and there but to take on the whole job, never. Respect!
Very nice job mate wow 5 times over it but look at the result am sure the customer was very very pleased with it have you tried leaving it on there for longer then mayb you may of only had to go over it 3 maybe 4 times.
I’ll give you 10/10 for perseverance.👌
Beast mode!
Nice work, did you charge by the sq m of fixed price and how much Hypo did you use on it?
Damn .... you worked a little with these 5 applications. It looks great. Do you charge an additional fee from customers for so many applications or is it already agreed with the customer when quoting?
Hi what do you use? And is it safe for wildlife and letting it soak into soil? I wouldn’t want to damage my tree roots, thanks
Excellent video what did you use to clean the patio please & how long do you leave it on there until you wash it off please ?
In the description
Cracking result
Cheers Sean, 🙂
what do you think about sandpapering or brushing with an electric screwdriver?
Awesome video! Does the 50/50 SH/water mix damage and/or kill grass? That’s my only hesitation using it but definitely want to try it for patio and driveway cleaning
This was done using neat 15% bud. It won't harm the grass if you heavily saturate the grass with water pre and post treatment. Without the soaking before and after applying the hypo, then yes you'll definitely cause harm, hope that helps 👍
I'd be more than happy with that result.
I'm a novice! Please tell me what is SH 50/50 ?? I need serious advice please. Small BBQ area slabs never been cleaned, also some in the garden. 15yrs ago Our builder who built arches at the front of our house, also used pieces of slabs instead of decorative stone. By the time we came over to Greece to inspect the build it was too late. Some of these slab pieces have gone black as we have a lot of humidity. We need to get these as clean as possible, as we've decided to paint all that is slab! There's no way a jet washer will get up a ladder to clean the arches, so any suggestions please? PS how was your back, after that?!
Lovely job as usual Nick! Smashed it. Can I ask what surfactant you use in your SH mix? Comes up super suddsy :O
Thanks mate, yeah sure it's this one www.bonnymans.co.uk/product-page/lauryl-dimethylamine-oxide-ammonyx-lo 👍
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning Thanks for the info. I am about to buy some and wondered is it, say, a capful per bucket of hypo or a bit more?
Great job. I'm currently doing a patio renovation on very similar Indian stone and it is covered in black spot. What us the product you found to be effective in removing it please?
www.amazon.co.uk/LIQUIPAK-Hypochlorite-Cleaner-Swimming-Chlorine/dp/B08DTSLQF6/ref=sr_1_3?crid=TO5I4UVFC6HR&keywords=sodium%2Bhypochlorite&qid=1682527262&sprefix=sodi%2Caps%2C120&sr=8-3&th=1
What the solution mixed you used?? What about sealing?
What sealer would you recommend for a wet look finish ?
You did very well there mate. That was very bad black spot
Hey Gary, thanks a lot dude, much appreciated 🙂
Excellente 🥳🥳🥳
Good video
That’s amazing, what SH are you using?
Thanks Ian, 15% SH
hello, I would like to ask what chemical you use to remove black spots. I've been struggling with this for a long time. 🇨🇿
I bought some second hand pavers which have black spot, and some rust stains . What product would you (anyone) recommend?
What products did you use to get them black spots off?
Είσαι από τους λίγους καλούς επαγγελματίες του είδους, κι αυτό φαίνεται από την επιμονή και τη σημασία που δίνεις στη λεπτομέρεια. Για να παραδώσεις τη δουλειά σου, πρέπει να είναι άψογη. Μπράβο σου!
Wow, what a lovely compliment, thank you so much, you're super kind to say so 😊🤗
What is 'SH' ? Great job btw.
Also, what would you use to seal it or prevent balck spots again ?
Sodium Hypochlorite
What psi or bar is your pressure washer please? Ideally, the make and model would be useful. Thanks!
Hi, where did you get the SH from? I was thinking of doing my patio next week
Hi, from here amzn.to/3awovCQ
Hi what did you use for soft wash ?
Who would have thought them lovely colours were under that dirt.nice beard by the way you look fit x
