How to Clean Bluestone Pavers: Keep Them Sparkling Without the Acid Drama

So, you’ve got these stunning bluestone pavers around your pool or alfresco area, and they’re like the shining stars of your outdoor space. But hey, even stars need a bit of cleaning love, right? Cleaning bluestone pavers isn’t rocket science, but there’s one thing you should NEVER do: don’t even think about using acid. Seriously, it’s a big no-no. Let’s dive into how to keep your bluestone pavers looking fantastic without any acid drama.

Why Acid is a Big Oops:
First things first, let’s talk about the acid thing. Bluestone and acid don’t get along, and they’re not about to become BFFs anytime soon. Acid can mess up the gorgeous finish of your bluestone pavers faster than you can say “whoops.” It can create stains, dull the surface, and basically give your pavers a not-so-cool makeover. So, let’s steer clear of acid, shall we?

What You’ll Need:
Cleaning bluestone pavers is a simple task, and you won’t need a bunch of fancy stuff. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • A broom or a leaf blower to get rid of loose dirt and debris.
  • A bucket of warm water.
  • Mild dish soap or a stone-specific cleaner.
  • A soft-bristle brush or a mop.
  • A hose for rinsing.

Step-by-Step Cleaning:
Alright, let’s get down to business:

Step 1: Sweep or Blow Away the Debris:
Give your bluestone pavers a good sweep with a broom or use a leaf blower to get rid of leaves, dirt, and other gunk.

Step 2: Mix Your Cleaning Solution:
Fill your bucket with warm water and add a bit of mild dish soap or a stone-specific cleaner. Don’t go overboard with the soap – a little goes a long way.

Step 3: Scrub-a-Dub-Dub:
Dip your soft-bristle brush or mop into the cleaning solution and gently scrub the bluestone pavers. You’re not trying to power-lift here, just giving them a nice, thorough clean.

Step 4: Rinse Away the Suds:
Grab your hose and give those pavers a good rinse to get rid of the soap suds. Make sure you rinse them well to avoid any soap residue.

Step 5: Let Them Dry:
Let your bluestone pavers air dry, and voila! They should look sparkly clean and ready to show off.

TLC Tips:

  • If you’re dealing with stubborn stains, you might want to consider a stone poultice or a professional cleaner.
  • Avoid using abrasive materials like wire brushes. Bluestone is tough, but it’s not invincible.
  • Regular cleaning is key to keeping your bluestone pavers in tip-top shape. Aim for a gentle cleaning every couple of months.

So there you have it – a simple and acid-free way to keep your bluestone pavers looking as stunning as ever. Remember, bluestone loves a little TLC, but it’s not a fan of acid. With a bit of regular cleaning, your bluestone pavers will keep on shining and bringing that outdoor beauty to your space.
