Grime, mildew and stains build up a little at a time until one day the outside of your property looks years older. Efflorescence Removal for Pavers in Trinity, FL brings it back, usually in a single visit. With pavers, the right approach is pressure wash with a surface cleaner.
How we clean it
Cleaning solution: A paver cleaner or pre-treatment; efflorescence needs a dedicated cleaner.
Cleaning pavers safely
Cleaning concrete and brick pavers removes weeds, moss and stains, but some joint sand washes out with them. Re-sanding the joints, often with polymeric sand, and sealing afterward keeps weeds and ants out and holds the pavers in place.
Avoid: A narrow tip aimed into the joints, which blows out sand and can loosen pavers.
How often: Clean every 1-2 years; reseal every 2-4 years.
