For cleaning all types of paved surfaces, both absorbent and dense paving units: Dilute the NCC Grime Remover, as supplied, by 1:10 parts by volume with warm water and stir, then immediately apply the solution across the dirty paved surfaces. A sturdy standard-type of floor mop is usually the easiest and best for this. Allow the material to work for a few minutes (5 to 10 mins.), keeping the surfaces wet during this time with more of the solution as necessary, do not allow it to dry out. Then remove the dirt with the same mop and clean water, finally rinse with more clean water.
For severe areas of staining, you can reduce the dilution and increase the concentration of the solution as far as 1 to 3 with warm water. This will usually shift most dirt and grime from paved surfaces! Always apply liberally, on larger areas it can be applied by rollers or low-pressure garden sprayer, again keep the surfaces wet whilst the solution works. For stubborn areas it can be helpful to agitate the material with a stiff brush working the solution into the surface. Repeat as and where necessary, and finally remove / sponge / mop-up and thoroughly rinse the surfaces with clean water.
In extremely severe cases the NCC Grime Remover can be used undiluted, and the surface can also be agitated with mechanical scrubbers if required. This is useful and sometimes necessary to include as part of the cleaning regime for good hygiene around food retail and commercial facilities, where surface sealing once cleaned, would obviously also be a good idea.
Always give surfaces a final rinse with clean water to ensure removal of any residue.
Important note: We recommend that any and all paving cleaners are first tested on an inconspicuous area before undertaking the overall cleaning application. Additionally, with any cleaning products in your garden, it is important to also mask and protect any adjacent painted surfaces, untreated wood or any any other sensitive areas, and your planting. Rinse off any spillages or over-spray immediately.
Protective Surface Treatment – Impregnation & Sealing
Once your paving is clean, applying a protective treatment can help prevent future staining, dirt build-up, and green growth as well as making future cleaning easier. For more information on these advantages, together with alternative options for paving sealing, please refer to our Paving Sealing webpages and our Buyers Guides: Paving Sealing.
Some of the most popular paving sealing products include:
- GftK’s vdw 950 3-in-1 StainProtect – A high-performance, ‘invisible’ impregnation to durably seal and repel oils and water for long-term stain resistance and easier cleaning.
- NCC Stone Sealer – A highly penetrative stone paving sealer, based on solvent dispersed acrylic resins, with a natural matt finish.
- NCC Stone Sealer & Enhancer – A water-based stone paving sealer to protect the surface and also enhance the natural colours of your natural stone or coloured concrete paving.
Surface cleaning for absorbent and dense paving: Dilute the NCC Grime Remover as supplied by 1:10 parts by volume with warm water and stir, then immediately apply the solution across the surfaces, using a sturdy standard floor mop is usually the easiest and best for this. Keep the surfaces wet with this solution, allow the material to react for a few minutes (5 to 10 mins.) and then remove with the same mop and rinse with clean water.
For severe areas of staining and more severe cases increase the concentration of the solution and the dilution can be reduced as far as 1 to 3 with warm water, and this will usually shift most things dirt and grime! Apply liberally, spreading over larger areas and surfaces of the paving by roller, brush or spray. For these areas it can be helpful to agitate the material on the surface, working the solution into the stains in these areas with a stiff brush. Repeat and leave this to react for a further period of 5-10 minutes where required, ensuring that the surfaces are kept wet with the solution throughout, and by applying more as required. Then finally agitate the surface with a stiff brush again and remove / sponge / mop-up and finally rinse thoroughly with clean water.
In extremely severe cases the NCC Grime Remover can be used undiluted and the surface can also be agitated with mechanical scrubbers if required. This is useful and sometimes necessary to include as part of the cleaning regime for good hygiene around food retail and commercial facilities, where surface sealing would obviously also be a good idea.
Following the cleaning process, any cleaning solution remaining on the paved surfaces should be completely removed by mopping / sponging with clean water. Always make sure to give the surface a third final rinse with clean water to remove any residual materials.
Important note: We always advise that paving cleaners are tested on an inconspicuous area before undertaking the overall cleaning application. Additionally, with any cleaning products in your garden, it is important to also mask and protect any adjacent painted surfaces, untreated wood and any other sensitive areas and planting.
