How to Remove Leaf Stains from Pavers: A Simple Guide
It’s annoying when leaves make your nice pavers look dirty. You might wonder if you can clean them with Windex or bleach, or if you should replace the pavers. Here are some simple ways to deal with leaf stains on your outdoor paving stones:
- Wait For that: During the winter with snow and rain, most of the stains (about 80% to 100%) will disappear on their own. Nature cleans things up over time. You can think of it like how dirty kitchen floors can be cleaned with time.
- Clean Them: Use dish detergent, a product like Simple Green Oxy, warm water, and a tough brush to clean the stained pavers. Be careful if you use a pressure washer so you don’t damage the pavers or wash away the sand in between them. Always test cleaning substances in a hidden spot first to make sure they work well.
3.Prevent Future Stains: To stop stains from happening in the first place, regularly sweep or blow leaves off your pavers. You can also choose pavers that come pre-sealed with a protective layer, like Easy Clean. If your pavers don’t have this, you can add a sealer after they’re installed.By following these tips, your pavers should stay looking good for a long time.
