How To Clean & SEAL Bluestone Pavers

Bluestone is a popular and durable material, often chosen for its visual appeal and uses for both indoor and outdoor spaces. Like all natural stone surfaces, proper maintenance and care is essential to keep them looking their best and to protect from wear and tear over time. We will guide you through the basics of maintaining your bluestone tiles and pavers, but professional care is often the best solution to save you any headaches in the future. Whether you’re dealing with dullness, stains or general wear, taking the right approach can make all the difference. If you need more information, you can always check out our full Bluestone Service Page.

How to tell if your Bluestone pavers need cleaning and sealing?

Staining or discoloration
Dull looking in appearance
Located near a pool area or a coastal environment
Signs of efflorescence (a white powdery residue)
Cracks or crumbling of the surface
General wear and tear

We recommend sealing your surfaces after they are cleaned, whether old or new, to promote longevity and keep them looking as fresh as possible.

How to Clean Bluestone Pavers

Regular cleaning is key to maintaining your bluestone’s natural looks. Here’s a simplified cleaning routine:

Clear the Surface: Remove dirt and debris with a broom or blower.
Gentle Washing: Use a pH-neutral stone cleaner like our #JUSTSEALIT Stone Wash for general cleaning.
Spot Treatment: Tackle stains with a specific spot cleaner like the #JUSTSEALIT Stain Aid and a soft brush.
Rinse Thoroughly: Remove all residue to avoid streaks or film build-up.
Dry the Area: Allow the surface to air dry or use a soft towel to prevent watermarks. Make sure the area is bone dry before moving onto sealing.

While this routine is effective for everyday care, some stains or build-up will require deeper cleaning. Prestige Surfaces offers professional cleaning services tailored to the needs of your bluestone, ensuring a thorough and safe process.

How to seal your Bluestone Pavers

Sealing bluestone is a crucial step in protecting it from damage and making maintenance easier. A simplified process is to:

Start Clean: Ensure the stone is spotless and completely dry before sealing.
Choose a High-Quality Sealer: Use a penetrating, breathable sealer like our #JUSTSEALIT Classic Stone Sealer maintain the stone’s slip resistance and natural finish.
Apply Evenly: Use a microfibre applicator and/or low pressure sprayer for even application, avoiding excess sealer on the surface. Apply two wet-on-wet coats. Make sure to apply when temperature is right – between 10-30 degrees Celsius.
Curing Time: Follow the product instructions for proper drying and curing.

Sealing does more than protect against stains and weathering—it significantly reduces the effort required for ongoing cleaning. However, achieving even coverage and selecting the right product can be challenging. Trusting Prestige Surfaces to handle the job ensures long-lasting protection and peace of mind.
