Step 1

Sweep the pavers with a stiff-bristled broom to remove dried stain material, dirt and debris.

Step 2

Wet the stained area of your Belgard pavers. Squirt three to five drops of dish detergent onto the stains.

Step 3

Scrub the stains with a scrub brush. Rinse the pavers with a hose to wash away the detergent and loosened stain material.

Step 4

Treat any remaining stain with a poultice to draw the stain out of the paver stones. Pour 1/4 cup of talcum powder into a bowl. Add enough denatured alcohol to make a thick paste.

Step 5

Smooth the paste over the entire stain. Allow it to sit until it dries, then scrub it off with hot water and detergent. Repeat as needed.

Step 6

Scrubbing action helps with the stain-removal process.

Moisten the scrub brush. Scrub the poultice paste into the paver to remove the last traces of stain matter.

Step 7

Rinse the Belgard pavers to remove the paste residue. Allow your pavers to air-dry.
