How to clean flint
Having our old cottage re-tendered, hacked it off already and there is a 18”- 2’ bit at the bottom which are flint stones. Love the look and would like to try to keep them exposed to show the character. however obviously a lot of cement on many of them and just wondered if there was something we could use to dissolve the residue or in some place, remove chunks of cement to clean them up ? Any suggestions please?!!!
