N.B. With staining, it is often the case that more than one treatment will be required to resolve the problem due to the chemical nature of the stains involved. This is often hard to predict at the outset and so we cannot guarantee any minimum number of visits. However, we will endeavour to provide a likely scenario based on previous experience.

Generally they are hard to remove so it can take multiple visits to remove them and requires a very aggressive Acid chemistry to treat which must be handled with great care to avoid harm to the user and surrounding materials and surfaces.
