How do you clean paver/brick stoop?

Hi Ladies, I need some advise, we just got a new paver/brick stoop this week and yesterday my a**hole of a tenant dragged her garbage outside and now I have a stain across my top step.
How do I clean this?? I tried hot water and a broom but it didn't work.
Does Lowes have paver cleaner? The guy who installed it saw it today and he said if anything he can replace the bricks.
Sorry so long, I am sooo ANGRY with her!!!

Re: How do you clean paver/brick stoop?

power washer..... just be careful in the joints... use the correct pressure not to ruin them... as for pressure... around 500-1000 PSI but nothing more or you can scar up the bricks and cause a lot of damage. .. but it can absolutely be done. you can power wash anything with the correct pressure, tip and technique.


EDT: is it brick or pavers? brick structure and pavers on the top surface?

EaCo Chem has a product called Paver Clean that is specially formulated to clean pavers without having to use pressure and without causing damage, color bleed, and efflorescing problems. You can have great looking pavers by simply applying the chemicals as directed, then rinsing off with a garden hose
