If this continues unchecked over a long period of time then not only will it cause staining and discolouration but also you run the risk that acid from the mould itself could start etching into the stone's surface which would weaken it. \r\rMould is usually present in dark patches that look like discolouration.\r\rIf you want to clean the mould and algae from your sandstone paving then the first step is to ensure that your sandstone tiles are not regularly getting wet and damp underneath. Sandstone has a porous nature, and a permeable sandstone patio surface will allow water to drain through easily and can help prevent moisture problems, as well as helping to avoid problems such as black mould which loves a high level of moisture. You may also find that there is a risk of some sandstone tiles lifting if the earth beneath them stays constantly wet over a long period of time. If tiles are lifting from the ground, touch the bottom of the pavers or the earth below to see if it is damp or wet.\r\rClean off any loose debris like leaf litter and other vegetation on sandstone pavers before starting work on cleaning the mould and algae - do this with just water and a soft brush. Using harsher chemical is a good way to damage the surface of your sandstone paving.\r\rThe next step in cleaning black mould is to scrub it clean with a dilute solution of vinegar or soda crystals - this solution will kill off much of the mould, leaving just discolouration on areas where there has been a lot of growth. To do so, mix equal parts of vinegar/soda crystals with water. If it's not effective you can add another part of vinegar to the mixture. Keep adding one part vinegar and testing until you're satisfied with the solution.\r\rOnce you have rubbed off any remaining patches or areas of mould and algae clean, wipe away any remaining solution with a mop, soft cloth, or towel. You should be able to make out faint outlines where the damage was done - these are usually quite dark and greasy looking because they are stained by dirt rather than being discoloured limestone itself. If you cannot clean such a stain completely then using a penetrating sealer to seal it in. These types of sealers might reduce stain visibility over time.

As long as you rinse off any chlorine quickly after using it then there should be no problems. However, it's not worth taking the risk when so many alternative options to chlorine are available. \r\rSome people like to use chlorine as a way of killing off algae and other forms of mould which might grow on their sandstone tiles - this is not advisable as chlorine can cause more problems than it solves.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"How do you get stains out of sandstone pavers?","text":"Every so often, you might notice stains appearing on the surface of your sandstone pavers.\r\rAt times, they are easily visible and standing out in sharp contrast against the pale colouring of your stone, but other times they can be difficult to spot because the stains have mixed in with the dirt over time.\r\rWhatever the case, these stains can be troublesome and you might find that they don't come off when you try and clean your sandstone pavers - if this happens then you will need to give them a bit of extra help.\r\rYou should start by examining the affected area closely; they might look like general dirt spots but they may also be more prominent and discoloured compared to the rest of the stone. This is usually because they are stained with something which has made its way into your sandstone tiles over time, for example, it could be caused by long-term exposure to oil or some other kind of contaminant which has been spilled onto your sandstone tiles and soaked in.\r\rTry cleaning any affected area with just water from your garden hose first, to see what changes - if you notice some improvement then you will definitely need to do something else for cleaning away the rest of the dirt. \r\rAfter that, give your sandstone pavers a thorough cleaning using just water and soda crystals - this kind of cleaning product is excellent at breaking down stains naturally so it's best to use it first before trying anything stronger. Once you have done that there are two options for how to finish the cleaning job:\r\rIf the stains are still visible after everything else has been tried then an acid-based solution can be applied by spray or brush onto any particularly stubborn area which won't shift. Again, take care when using this kind of solution to clean your sandstone surfaces. The reason for this care is that it could damage your sandstone paving if used incorrectly while cleaning. \r\rHowever, if you're sure know what you are doing though then an acid-based product or solution should give you good results. Once you're done, wipe away any residue with a mop, soft cloth, or towel. You can follow a similar process for cleaning roof tiles.\r\rIf you're still concerned about cleaning your sandstone pavers, considering hiring a professional company.

Ensure that when you remove the dirt from each hole, it all comes out in one go; don't leave any in the bottom of the hole because this could cause your post to shift position when you add concrete. \r\rAdd four inches of gravel to the bottom of each hole before adding concrete. This will help with drainage around your fence post, preventing rot.\r\r Mix your concrete according to the package directions and pour it into each hole. Use a level to ensure that the post is standing straight, and use a shovel to pack the concrete around the post until it's firmly in place.\r\rOnce the concrete has had time to set (usually 24 hours), you can add your rails, pine palings, fence boards, or panels.\r\rIf you're not comfortable with doing any of these steps yourself, there are plenty of contractors and fence companies who can help you build your perfect wooden fence.

Generally, if the lumber is treated and proper fencing maintenance is observed, fences can last for many years.
