A lady wants her indian sandstone patio pressure washed, but she sealed it with thompsons concrete sealer a year ago ! This is the first job I have come across that has been sealed, so what is the best way to go about cleaning it
please ? Any advice would be really appreciated, thanks.

If she sealed it without it being professionally cleaned first then you will have a nightmare trying to get it clean. If it was cleaned before it was sealed then just give it a good wash and top the sealer up to freshen things up

Thank you, I will give it a try ;D

Stripping it is no problem! Your problem is what do you? Or they? reseal it with? If your going to do it my advice would be use stripper , a rotary scrubber and a wet vac not a pressure washer. That stuff is acrylic resin and is designed as the name suggests for concrete not sandstone.
Alternatively whilst I wouldn't normally agree Davids suggestion may not be a bad idea in this instance after all they have wrecked it anyway ??? ???

What did you have to do in the end just clean it?

Yes, just cleaned with turbo, and it looked perfect.

Don't want to be a downer to your work, but what did or does it look like when dry? Thompsons is a s**t sealer be it concrete or natural stone (which she shouldn't have used it on in the first place) has it not started to peel from the surface and now look's "patchy"?
Lucky boy if it hasn't :)
