Maintaining your paved surfaces is straightforward. Use Gator Shampoo to clean the entire area, including joints. Rinse thoroughly with a hose using a shower setting at standard residential or commercial water pressure (80 psi / 550 kpa) to remove any residue.
Please note, EUROSTONE BOND is not recommended for clay pavers. For clay pavers, GATOR MAXX G2 is recommended. If using GATOR MAXX G2 on clay pavers, ensure they are completely dry to prevent premature activation and residue. Always test in a small area first.
EUROSTONE BOND does not prevent moss, mold, or mildew, which are related to environmental factors like moisture, shade, and maintenance.
