Method One
1. Wet area to be cleaned ( a very small amount of dish detergent may help , but not essential)
2. With care spinkle a small amount of the oxalic acid crystals on the staining and work in with a broom or deckscrub. Hard scrubbing should not be necessary.
3. Leave wet for 15- 20 minutes and re- broom.
4. Hose away after another ten minutes (times are not critical and are suggestions only)

- Treating water bores high in iron
- Controlling veroamite in bee hives.
We have bee Keepers using this for controlling veroamite in hives . Our grade is suitable (note the 0.001 on the heavy metals is basically saying that these are below the normal detection limits , and not meaning that there is that much in there)
