What's the best way to clean my paving?Updated 2 months ago

The cleaning method depends on the paving type:

Sandstone

• Use a pH-neutral stone cleaner

• Avoid harsh or acid-based chemicals

• Use pressure washers only on low settings

Limestone

• Never use acid-based cleaners (such as vinegar or citrus products)

• Use a stone-safe patio cleaner for routine maintenance

• Use an algae remover if biological growth appears

Granite

• Mild detergent and water are suitable for routine cleaning

• Use a stone cleaner for heavier dirt

Porcelain

• Generally the easiest to maintain

• Use a porcelain-safe cleaner

• Avoid pressure washing on the highest setting

For black spots, algae, or biological growth: use a specialist stone-safe remover.

For rust stains: use a rust remover suitable for paving.
