When starting to care for your paver patio, it is critical to sweep and removes all debris from the surface. The last thing you want is it to rain and then having wet dirt and debris staining your paver patio. After you have swept and removed all of the debris away, you should wash your paver patio with a host. Rinsing your patio will effectively remove all of the stuck on dirt that may have accumulated. Depending on your type of paver patio, pressure washing might damage the structure.

Just dip the sponge into the soapy water and scrub away until the stain is gone. Another effective solution to remove stains is to use a wire brush. Once you remove all of the stains, all you have to do is rinse your patio off with water.
