How to Remove White Stains From Holland Paver Bricks

When Holland Paver bricks are installed near a pool or within reach of a sprinkler system, they often develop white stains. These white stains are most likely hard water stains. As water splashed onto the stones evaporates, it leaves minerals behind. The best way to remove hard water stains from stone is with an acid solution. Plain old white vinegar is a great choice. Simply spray it on, let it penetrate and then hose it off.

Things You'll Need

• Spray bottle
• Vinegar
• Hose
• Scrub brush

Instructions

1. Hose the pavers off with a high-pressure spray from your hose to clear away any debris.

2. Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar.

3. Spray the water spots with white vinegar until they are well saturated.

4. Scrub the treated area with a scrub brush.

5. Leave the vinegar in place until the water stains dissipate. Do not allow the pavers to dry out. Re-wet the area with vinegar as necessary.

6. Hose the Holland pavers off.

7. Allow the pavers to air dry. Re-examine the pavers and re-treat any white spots that remain.
