Step 1: Collect Cleaning Supplies
First, gather all the supplies needed for cleaning pet stains from pavers or concrete:
- A soft brush
- Bucket or spray bottle
- Dishwashing detergent
- White vinegar and/or hydrogen peroxide
- Castile Soap
- Baking soda
Step 2: Remove Visible Debris
Using your soft brush, gently remove any visible debris. If stain is fresh, you may need to blot up liquid first before brushing. Be sure to use a gentle cleaning motion, as too much scrubbing can cause the stain to set further into the surface.
Step 3: Create a Cleaning Solution
In a bucket or spray bottle, mix together equal parts water and dishwashing detergent. If the stain is especially stubborn, add a small amount of baking soda or castile soap.
Step 4: Apply the Solution
Spray or pour the solution onto the area with the pet stain. Allow the solution to sit for 15-20 minutes before scrubbing it off with your brush. Avoid using too much pressure when scrubbing, as this can cause damage to the pavers or concrete.
Step 5: Rinse and Repeat
Rinse area with clean water and repeat the process if necessary. If the stain is still there after repeating process twice, try a stronger solution of white vinegar or hydrogen peroxide. Be sure to test the stronger solutions on a small area first.
