Get Poly sand (Gator dust) off flagstone

I swept the Gatordust into my joints. Residue remains on the lilac colored flagstone.

Help! How do I get it off?

Thanks,

Ed

Do a search here for polymeric sand and I think you'll find a few answers.

I need help with this also. The gator dust dude said the white haze would just go away after a couple of rains. Is this true?

You could try efflorecense cleaner. It removes whitish residue and cleans the pores. Don't over do it though I've seen the dye come out more than once if applied to strong.

We've used the 'Gator Sand' on flagstone patios a few times. Just wondering how the 'Gator Dust' compares?
