Ways To Keep Granite Outside Clean?

The steps to cleaning outdoor granite steps include removing loose debris, preparing a cleaning solution, scrubbing the steps, rinsing thoroughly, drying the steps, and applying sealant (optional). It is important to avoid letting dirt, debris, water, or liquid spills sit and accumulate. When sweeping, start with a horizo and follow the recommended cleaning methods for most outer stone surfaces. Stone soap, neutral cleaners, and mild liquid washing detergents are recommended for most outer stone surfaces, but Basildon Stone is a unique example.

To remove dirt and grime from exterior stone surfaces, mix a solution of 1-part R155 Intensive Cleaner to 6-parts clean water in a bucket. Use a stiff natural bristle scrub brush to dip the brush in cleaning solution. Apply the sealer to the stone using a brush, sponge, or by pouring onto the surface. Allow the stone to absorb the sealer by waiting approximately 5 minutes. Look for mild, non-abrasive cleaners specifically designed for use on granite surfaces.

For greasy or heavily soiled surfaces, let stand for one minute and rub into the surface using a clean, dry terry towel. Wash the patio with a pressure washer or a garden hose thoroughly, ensuring no traces of paver cleaner are left on the surface. Use mild dish soap or a pH-neutral stone cleaner, warm water, soft-bristled brushes or brooms, non-abrasive sponges, microfiber cloths, or soft towels.

In summary, cleaning exterior stone surfaces involves removing loose debris, preparing a cleaning solution, scrubbing the steps, rinsing thoroughly, drying the steps, and applying sealant (optional). Proper maintenance and use of mild, non-abrasive cleaners are essential for maintaining the beauty and longevity of outdoor granite surfaces.
