How to clean clay off white stone pavers?

image.jpg

Installed white stone pavers and we live in an area that has clay soil which has stained the white pavers. 

Have tried jet washing with Kärcher and the Kärcher outdoor detergent as well as bleach and water solution but will not budget them. Any suggestions on how to remove?

Hello @mhiggins015 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your pavers.

 

I'm afraid the clay has entered the pores of the pavers. I suggest using very hot water in combination with detergent and a bristle brush. Hopefully the hot water will melt the clay surface and get carried away by the detergent. You can also try using a wet and dry vacuum to try and suck the clay off the surface of the paver.

 

If you are successful, I suggest sealing the paver to prevent clay from entering the surface.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Hello @mhiggins015 

 

I think it's time to call in the professionals. The next level of cleaning is by using strong chemicals and I recommend letting the professional trades handle this. They will have the knowledge and experience in handling the chemicals and they will also get rid of it safely.

 

Let me call on our experienced members @prettyliving, @lifestylebymari and @Peggers for their recommendations.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
