How to Clean Paving Slabs Without a Pressure Washer

Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Paving Slabs
Step 1: Dilute Hypo Superfoam+
Mix Hypo Superfoam+ with water in a bucket. The recommended dilution ratio is:
-
3 parts water to 1 part Hypo Superfoam+ for heavily soiled areas
-
4 parts water to 1 part Hypo Superfoam+ for general cleaning
Step 2: Pre-soak Plants and Grass
Before applying the solution, protect nearby grass, plants, or shrubs by thoroughly soaking them with clean water. This step helps reduce the absorption of any splashes from the cleaning solution, which could harm vegetation.
Step 3: Apply the Solution
Generously pour or spray the diluted Hypo Superfoam+ over the paving slabs, ensuring even coverage. Focus on areas with the most staining or dirt buildup. Allow the solution to soak into the surface for 1 hour.
Step 4: Rinse Thoroughly
After an hour, rinse off the solution using a garden hose. The dirt, algae, and moss should lift away easily, leaving your paving slabs looking refreshed. If any stubborn patches remain, a light scrub with a stiff-bristled brush can help loosen them before rinsing again.
Important Safety Precautions
-
Protect vegetation: Always soak nearby plants and grass with water before applying Hypo Superfoam+ and avoid excessive splashing onto greenery.
-
Wear protective gear: Hypo Superfoam+ is a strong cleaner. Wear gloves and avoid direct contact with skin or eyes.
-
Test first: Test the solution on a small, inconspicuous area of your paving slabs to ensure compatibility.
