7 Ways to Clean Natural Stone Walkway

Let me share my personal experience with you today.

My spouse has a bit more ingenuity in keeping our outdoor oasis clean and the patio walkway is bound to catch her attention first. She has weekly, monthly and seasonal schedules to keep the patio walkway stones in excellent condition. So, she gathers the entire family in her cleaning drives and then rewards us with a barbeque only if we offer her our exclusive dedication. 

Therefore, I’d like to share my practical experience for cleaning natural stone walkways in the exterior of your homes. Also, for more insights, you can read my previous blog, “10 best cleaning & maintenance tips for natural stones in 2019“. 

Nature of Dirt on Natural Stone Walkway 

Before jumping on the bandwagon, I would like to share some valuable details about the nature of dirt that can occur on natural stone walkways.

Debris: 

• Trees, shrubs, plants, and grasses are a natural occurrence in any natural outdoor landscape. It means you will have fallen leaves, twigs debris on your walkway. 
• The next is sand and tiny grits in any open spaces, and your shoes or legs can carry some besides strong winds.
• Sometimes children and even adults leave paper and plastic pieces in the living room which can settle down anywhere around the house, including your walkways.
• Birds and animals in exterior areas are uninvited guests. The walkway could be a place for excreta, bird droppings & urine. 

Spills:

Parties are a frequent affair in gardens and backyard patios. To serve food and drinks to the attendees, we use walkways. Similarly, attendees also carry plates and bottles around with them while socializing with others. The walkways are frequently used in such scenarios.

The chances of solid and liquid food spill on your walkway increases. In addition to this, we often carry out various other activities in our outdoor arena and can accidentally leave spills of grease, oil, tar, painting solutions, and cosmetics on our walkways.
