Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @brinrook. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about removing stains from tiles.

I'm sorry to hear about your tiles. They have been heavily stained by tannins leaching out of the potting mix. Unfortunately, these types of stains can be really stubborn, and a pressure washer alone usually won’t remove them.

Given the extent of the staining, I’d recommend seeking professional help. Removing tannin stains often involves using strong chemical cleaners, and there’s a real risk of damaging the surface of the pavers if it’s not done carefully. A professional will be able to assess the type of tile and choose the safest method to get the best result.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
