Q. I have a question regarding fertilizing. My husband used a fertilizer that stained our
pavers and the bottom of our pool in spots. Do you know of a solution to remove
those stains?

A. The fertilizer most likely had iron sulfate in it. The
spots would be dark reddish brown or brown. Muriatic acid would remove it. Be
careful using it.

If it is in
the bottom of the pool and water is in the pool there is not much you can do
about that unless the pool was empty. The bag should have warned you, hopefully,
to use a drop spreader if it was for a lawn.
