Cleaning the pavement: do it yourself or outsource it?

The benefits of radiant paving

Green deposits are the biggest problem facing paving. Especially in places that get damp and where no sun shines, green deposits quickly develop. The result: unkempt-looking tiles. If you get rid of green deposits, you will enjoy:

• a well-kept garden that you do not need to be ashamed of;
• a longer life for your paving;
• a safe garden that is not slippery because of green deposits.

Please also remember that it is important to have a good drainage system in your garden. Where no water remains, green deposits will not form.

Tips on paving cleaning

Whether you do your paving cleaning yourself or have it done, read these tips on how to easily clean your paving for the best price.

1. Choose the right kind of cleaning

Paving is available in various types and materials, all with their own specifications. So consider carefully which type of cleaning is suitable for your paving to avoid damage.

Roughly speaking, we divide paving cleaning into 2 methods:

• simple cleaning
• deep cleaning.

Simple cleaning is with standard cleaning agents, such as all-purpose cleaner, and the use of a soft brush. This method can be used for any type of paving. However, some types need a thorough cleaning to get properly clean. Special cleaning agents such as a patio cleaner, a hard brush and possibly a pressure washer are used. Thorough cleaning is applied to coarse tiles such as concrete tiles and natural stone. Smooth tiles such as decorative tiles are more likely to be damaged by deep cleaning, so it is not recommended for these types of tiles.

2. Compare prices and look for offers

Don’t like all the maintenance and want to hire a gardener? Then you would be wise to always compare prices. Because competition causes rates to vary considerably, it is a shame to pay too much unnecessarily. By comparing, you can easily find the gardener with the best price-quality ratio. Are you going to work in your garden yourself? Then keep an eye out for special cleaning products for your paving.

3. Ask for information and advice from a gardener

Are you unsure about which agents are most effective in restoring the radiance of your paving? Remember that tiles can also be damaged if chemical cleaners are used incorrectly. Gardeners work with various types of paving on a daily basis, get advice on which cleaning agents and cleaning techniques are relevant for your paving.
