Clearly, stone pavers are highly regarded and attractive materials used by developers, property owners, landscape architects, contractors, designers, and craftsmen. Due to their decorative potential and natural elegance, they are often used in finishing projects.

Scene structures constructed with natural stones such as marble, granite, rock, limestone, bluestone, flagstone, and porphyry can withstand extreme weather conditions and heavy loads. This means that you won’t have to spend a lot of money on replacing or fixing them in the future.

Stone pavers are also suitable for various applications, particularly outdoor ones, as they require minimal maintenance. Usually, the only thing needed to maintain their aesthetic appeal is to occasionally rinse the surface with a hose. Though they may be more expensive compared to other materials, stone pavers can more than make up for the cost through their durability, functionality, and beauty. Natural stones are typically quarried and used without any treatments, but some are processed to enhance their appearance. The variety of colors, patterns, textures, and finishes of natural stones also makes them perfect for customizing projects. For example, some of the finishes available for stone pavers include honed, polished, flamed, and brushed. Additionally, various shapes of stone pavers can be chosen from such as diamond, full course, square, hexagonal, half-course, marquise, and circle.

Pavers are stone or concrete slabs that are often placed in gardens in areas where plants or shrubs are not desired. They not only provide strength to the ground but also have an elegant appearance, and serve as pathways. However, even though they are durable and weather resistant, pavers still require some maintenance at times. The good news is that maintaining natural pavers is not complicated and with a few tips, you can do it yourself.

Here are a few tips for taking care of natural pavers:

Frequent cleaning of paver stones is the simplest maintenance solution. This habit will ensure that you don’t have to undertake any difficult paver maintenance tasks anytime soon. First and foremost, regular washing and sweeping of your stones is important. The frequency of this task depends on various factors.

For instance, during the fall season, you may need to sweep away dry leaves as they may cause discoloration on your stones. If you host an event in your garden, spills may occur, and the sooner you wipe them up the better.

Before cleaning the pavers with a pH-balanced cleaner and water, you should sweep the area to remove any stubborn dirt and debris. Then you can easily scrub the pavers. Next, wash them with soap and warm water and use a sponge to remove any remaining dirt on the pavers. Rinse the pavers and let them air dry.

If you have natural stone pavers at your home, it’s best to use neutral cleaners as acidic agents can damage them. Whether you’re looking for spot cleaning or a thorough washing, a pH-neutral cleaner is what you need. Additionally, it’s important to avoid spills of drinks or liquids with high acid content like orange and tomato juice to preserve the smooth surface of the pavers. However, if a spill does occur, be sure to clean it up immediately.

When purchasing a cleaning product to use on your pavers, test it on a broken or leftover piece of paver to ensure the results are satisfactory for both the appearance and health of the paver.

Let’s move on to discussing various homemade methods for cleaning stone pavers. These techniques require minimal cost but can produce results that exceed expectations.

If there are any oil or grease stains on the pavers, use baking soda, corn starch or dry sand on the affected area. Allow the material to sit on the stain for about one hour to absorb all the oils. After 30 minutes, sweep away the dry material and discard the powder after one hour.

Another option is to use a household degreaser and apply it to the surface, leaving it for 30 minutes. You can also make hot soapy water using any household detergent. Then, use a scrub brush to vigorously rub the stained areas. For deep and stubborn stains, a smaller scrub brush may be more effective. After scrubbing, use a water hose to wash away the detergent. Allow the pavers to dry thoroughly for the best results.
