Cleaning Pavers/Protectant Maintenance is a real concern for the pavers Tampa residents select to line their driveways and pool areas.  To keep your investment looking stellar, follow the tips below.  Doing so will mean your pavers will retain their luster for years and years, maintaining their attractive durability and keeping you from unnecessary replacements. Caring for pavers correctly means: Taking note of the type of pavers you have.  Are they brick, concrete or tumbled marble?  The type of paver denotes the type of maintenance you will need to perform.  And, as always, remember that a paver material meant for pedestrian areas will not hold up well when used atop a driveway.  Sweep off any loose dirt often.  Also, as soon as the pavers are installed, make sure a sealant is brushed over the top.  Pavers are historically permeable, and the sealant will add a layer of protection.  If your pavers are exposed often to a salty environment, regular re-sealing is a good idea. If you are having construction done on your residence, cover up your pavers just in case.  It never hurts to be careful.  Even if you are pretty sure your pavers can withstand a heavy load, take that extra precaution. Never use acid to clean any stains.  You run the risk of permanently discoloring your pavers.
