Cleaning & Maintenance
57
Once you’ve completed
your landscaping project,
here are some useful tips
and advice for the ongoing
maintenance...
Regular Cleaning
Sweep the surface regularly to remove dirt, leaves
and other debris. This prevents dirt from accumulating
and potentially staining the paving.
Use a mild detergent or soap mixed with water to
clean the surface. Apply the solution with a soft-bristle
brush or mop and scrub gently. Avoid using harsh
chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage
the surface. Rinse the paving thoroughly with clean
water to remove any soap residue.
Deep Cleaning
Use a mild detergent or soap mixed with water and
scrub the surface of the porcelain paving with a
scrubbing brush or pad to agitate the cleaning
solution and remove stubborn stains. Work in small
sections, overlapping areas to ensure thorough
cleaning. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive
cleaners that could damage the porcelain.
Stain Removal
Promptly clean up spills, such as oil, grease, or
food stains, to avoid staining on the grout lines.
For stubborn stains, you can use a mild
acid-based cleaner specifically designed for
porcelain surfaces. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions carefully and test the cleaner on a
small, inconspicuous area first to ensure
compatibility.
Autumn Time
During leaf fall, try and clear the leaves as
regularly as you can. Some leaves can rot
down causing staining from the tannins that
leach out. Piles of leaves may also encourage
algae bloom & lichen, so treat with a cleaner
designed for porcelain paving.
