Good Condition

• When brick pavers are added to a home, perhaps in
  the form of a patio or driveway, they can be a
  very stylish and practical addition, but only
  when maintained properly.
• While brick pavers are of course designed to be
  used externally, and are both hardwearing and
  durable, they are prone to discoloration over
  time, something which can significantly affect
  the overall appeal of a home from the curb.
• If your brick pavers are grubby and are letting
  your home down, you can ask a local paving
  company for guidance and hire them to carry out
  the work, or do the work yourself.

• Why is it so important to keep your brick pavers
  clean?
• Seasonal conditions can soon take their toll on
  brick pavers, and dirt, mold and weeds can take
  hold and seriously impede the function of the
  brick paver installation. Weed growth when left
  unchecked can cause cracks to appear over time,
  and a build-up of general debris will almost
  certainly cause staining that may be extremely
  tough to remove.
• By having your brick pavers cleaned at least once
  a year, you can help keep them looking good and
  performing well, for longer.

• How to keep your brick pavers clean
• Follow this short, step-by-step guide to keep
  your brick pavers in mint condition
• Firstly, clean the area
• Remove anything that may be sitting on the brick
  paver installation, such as flower pots and
  furniture.
• Secondly, sweep up
• Giving your driveway or patio a good sweep with a
  firm brush will help to remove any debris sitting
  on the surface, and stop it from hindering the
  cleaning process.

• Thirdly, remove all weeds
• Weeds can be extremely detrimental to the health
  of any brick paver installation if left
  untreated, and you can buy a product online or in
  a store to help remove them effectively.
• Then, clean the pavers with a mild detergent
• Using a mild detergent or a store-bought product,
  you can apply a cleaning solution to your
  driveway or patio with a watering can or clean
  brush, to help remove stubborn bird waste, green
  mold and even light grease stains.

6

• You may want to use a pressure washer
• While pressure washers can be used to clean brick
  pavers, a great deal of caution should be
  exercised, especially if the installation is
  older, as the pressure can damage them. When
  power washing, use a concentrated store bought
  product to dissolve stubborn dirt and protect the
  pavers from the ravages of algae, wind and
  various weather conditions.

• If youre unsure, hire the pros
• If youre worried about damaging your brick
  pavers, or simply dont have the time or ability
  to clean them yourself, you can always ask a
  local paving company to help you clean them.
• If cleaning your brick pavers yourself, always
  read the manufacturers guidelines for use when
  buying store-bought cleaning products, and if
  using a pressure washer, take care not to damage
  older brick pavers. Cleaning your brick pavers
  can help preserve them and keep your home looking
  smart and well cared for.
