Cleaning flagstone

| DH and I were cleaning out old paint, etc stored in our walk-in space under the house. Had some Thompson's Water Seal can that had developed rust on the bottom and some of it leaked out on the flagstone walkway. I immediately hosed it off but it left a water-repellant surface on the stone. What's the best way to clean this? Or will it just eventually wear off? I don't want to waste a lot of time and effort on something that won't work. It's not a huge area and isn't terribly noticeable. |

| I wouldn't do much more than wire brush...It will wear off. My 5 year old spray painted our flagstone, along with a bat and a pair of shoes, last year. The bat and shoes didn't make it, but the flagstone is fine. |

| Dirty knees, that's funny, and I guess I'm lucky. But this will be a reminder to keep any spray paint away from the grandkids! I forget what ingenious little kids can do. Thankfully we had a lot of rain after this happened, so some has worn off already. |
