Yes you will most likely need an acid to remove the deposits. Good idea to test an area first

Hello Partners,
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me to help this client.
A few weeks ago I asked for help to clean up grout stains on flagstone and Dr Fred said to use a mild acid and Stu recommended Klenzstone #4 or #5.  I did not get to that job yet, but I saw about 2000sf of mostly black slate yesterday and I am wondering if it should be tackled in a similar manner.  Some of the tile spaces are clean and others show a deposit (calcium?).  I was thinking of a medium, nylon brush as my tool.  I was going to do a test area with just water to see how clean I can get the slate without the deposits and other test areas with a recommended product to remove the deposits.  Any thoughts?
