Title: Cobbles
Post by: Rob.Hall on January 21, 2023, 06:08:14 pm

How do you guys clean old cobbles.

I have been pondering how this could be done in a courtyard. (I clean the windows of this property and get the feeling they will ask me to do it.

The gardeners pressure washed it last, but it rip's out the sand and looked a royal mess after!

Depends what the stones are set in if it’s just sand then I would softwash it ,if set in cement pressure wash  on a low pressure and possibly apply hypo to kill any algae .

Soft wash.
Thanks, Splash.

I suggest using a soft brush and warm water to scrub dirt and debris off of old cobblestones, then rinsing them off with a yard hose. This shouldn't move the sand between the stones (https://www.amazon.com/).
