Remove Fat Splashed on Pavers

Concrete based pavers are quite porous, and if you have been eagerly grilling around the pavers and slopped a bit of fat onto them, you're probably after a solution for removing the unsightly mark that has since taken hold. Try these simple solutions before going for heavier cleaning products.

Steps

Baking Soda Method

  1. For fresh messes:
    • Sprinkle baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) over the pavers.
    • Pour a little vinegar directly onto the baking soda. It will immediately fizz.
    • Scrub the fizzy area well using a strong nylon scrubbing brush.
    • Repeat if needed. Allow to dry.

Deep Cleaning Method

  1. For deeper stains that haven't been dealt with immediately:
    • Mix the plaster of Paris with water to make into a thick paste.
    • Mix the detergent thoroughly.
    • Spread the mixture onto the stain and leave to dry.
    • Scrub the plaster off and wash off any remaining bits.
