Paving requires regular maintenance to prevent the build up of debris. Brush leaves and berries regularly to avoid them gathering on the paving and causing staining.
For general cleaning of dirt and algae, brush the paving with a stiff brush with plenty of hot water with detergent – washing up liquid or non-bio washing powder will suffice.
Rinse the area thoroughly with clean water. If your paved area is situated beneath trees or in permanent/near permanent shade, you may need to repeat the steps above.
If you wish to use a power washer, a light power hose at medium pressure is generally all that is required to clean general dirt and grime.
If any jointing material is removed by power hosing, take time to replace this. Do not use a high-pressure power washer as aggressive power washing can damage the product surface. A trial area should be tested before large scale power washing takes place.
We do not recommend power washing Tobermore’s EasyClean paving. Stains and dirt on EasyClean paving should be wiped away. Please refer to the EasyClean maintenance guide for more information.
Large weeds should be removed by hand and then the area treated with a weed killer. Smaller weeds can then be treated directly with weed killer; these weeds should start to die within days.
The manufacturer’s instructions should always be followed when using any weed killing agent.
For more cleaning information, refer to our maintenance guide on our website.
