Hi All,

After a season of BBQ's, parties and numerous spills, my new pavers need a cleaning. I've tried a cleaner designed to remove oil, but some stains still remain. I've read that scrubbing with detergent, followed by pressure washing, may do the trick, but would like your advice. Replacement of the offensive pavers is always possible of course, but would like to explore that as a last resort.

Thanks all.

Are the pavers clay pavers dry-set or set in mortar or are they dry-set concrete pavers?

I believe they are concrete dry set. The perimeter is set in morter. The soiled ones are interior, so they can be removed.

I'm pretty sure they are all concrete, not clay.
