Recently, I redesigned part of my garden and put in a circular self
binding gravel path.
Anyway, now with the heavy rain / downpours, the top surface of the
path looks like it has been picked at. I did use a whacker plate
machine to compact it.
Also, when it has rained heavily, there are limestone splash marks on
the brown plastic edging I used between the path and soil.

I have tried : turps / white spirit,weak mix of bleach in water, and a
proprietry stain remover, albeit for fabric. I have also used just a
wet / damp rag, but no matter what I have tried when the edging dries
out, the stains are still there.

I googled my problem but all I got was limescale remover. Is limescale
the same as limestone stains, I didn't think so

Mostly it is: calcium carbonate




Ok thanks, but every time it rains and comes down like stair rods, it
splashes it up and doesn't seem to want to come off that easily.

It kind of make me wish I'd used ordanairy gravel now, aargh!
