last season i used a pressure washer, which was a pain in the ass and completely made all of the grout between the pavers come out in many places. i didn't even do it everywhere once i realized how much was coming out.

i did some searching and tried using some dish soap (non acidic) mixed with water, and then i used one of these brushes to scrub it
that didn't really do much at all either. i don't know if that is the right kind of brush that i need or not, or if the dish soap is the best way. i read on the paver website that they recommended using that kind of dish soap so i'm wondering if the brush i have is just not the right kind and the bristles aren't tough enough.

so anyone have any suggestions on how to go about cleaning pavers?

Get a small spray container (e.g. those used with household cleaners/ window cleaner etc) fill with bleach and spray on pavers and just let it do it's stuff. The stains will run out of the pavers. Leave to dry naturally. Heavily stained areas may require a few treatements e.g. twice a day over 3 or 4 days. Once stains removed you can then give a hose down and scrub with a scrubbing brush. 5-Gal. SX5000™ Penetrating Clear Solvent-Based Silone-Siloxane Concrete & Masonry Sealer will kill mould/fungus spores which is often the cause of black patches you see on paving. Never mix acid and bleach together! Strong acid can leach the colour and cause fading on paving tiles. Also you can check information through this review portal https://bestyardproducts.com/
