Concrete haze over flagstone refers to a cloudy or film-like residue that can occur when concrete is poured or finished near flagstone surfaces. This haze is typically caused by the fine particles of cement and other materials that settle on the flagstone during the curing process. It can be unsightly and may require cleaning with a specialized concrete cleaner or a mild acid solution to restore the flagstone's original appearance. Proper sealing and protection during concrete work can help prevent this issue.
