This Paver Cleaning article is written for Melbourne owners and managers who need more than a quick blast. Concrete & Paver Cleaning jobs in our city require a surface diagnosis before any cleaning starts.
In Melbourne, everything from growth corridor new-build mortar smear to inner-suburb heritage brick has its own cleaning risk profile. The right method, chemistry and pressure keep the surface safe and the result lasting.
Use low-pressure water and a brush
High pressure lifts joint sand. Combine a gentle rinse with joint brushing for best results.
Treat organic growth separately
Apply a biocide to the joints first, then rinse after it has had time to work.
Top up joint sand if needed
Clean joints often reveal lost sand — repair them promptly to keep the pavers stable.
On the job
- Low-pressure water preserves joint sand.
- Organic growth needs a separate biocide step.
- Top up joints after cleaning if required.
