Paver Stone Cleaning – How To Do It And What To Look For
It’s a good idea for you to regularly walk your paver stone paths, driveways, steps, pool decks.

We’d like to share with you some tips on how to preserve your beautiful paver stones and protect the integrity of their installation. This all comes from our years of experience serving residents all over Sacramento, Roseville, Folsom, Granite Bay, and El Dorado Hills.
Paver Stone Cleaning Steps
Depending on your area and how much foot traffic your area experiences, you’ll need to clean and maintain it more frequently. This is especially true if you have patio paver stone, walkway pavers, driveway pavers, a paver pool deck, or paver stone steps.
The best way to start is by cleaning your pavers with a stable brush broom. We recommend using coarse bristles. You should also use an organic stain remover for pavers.
Eliminate any weeds and make sure to take preventative measures against new weeds. Depending on the current state of your landscape, this may require more or less work. Please check out our article that explains in detail how to deal with weeds around your pavers.
After killing off any weeds, follow this next step. Perform a light wash to rinse off your pavers. Keep the pressure low to make sure you don’t ruin any finish or cause unnecessary erosion. It’s a good idea to lightly wash your stone pavers on a regular basis to prevent the build-up of dirt, dust, and debris.
Use professional high-quality organic cleaning solutions. And we always like to remind you to test a small area to make sure whatever you use won’t discolor your pavers.
You can also use specialized cleaners if you have specific stains you need to remove. There can be many different types such as rust, tar, rubber, oil, food, and so forth.
