Our technicians use clean water to rinse off the cleaning slurry. Our professionals repeat until the Sandstone looks clean. Smooth Sandstone is generally clean after one or two passes. Tumbled Sandstone needs more cleaning passes. The soil in deep cavities can't be taken down with machine scrubbing alone.
