Hi there,
I live in a terraced house from the early 1900's. I'm looking to clean or restore the blackened sandstone sills underneath and above the windows. Our neighbours have painted, but I would rather try and get the surface back to a natural colour. You can see how it currently looks in my attached image.
I've tried pouring on some strong household bleach, but that didn't work very well. I also purchased a wire brush attachment for my drill, that probably would have eventually got there, but was just way too slow (less than a square foot got less than acceptably clean in an hour of brushing ).
Does anyone know of any methods or products that will get me back to my original sandstone colour?
Thanks
