How to clean and impregnate tiles yourself
If you decide to clean and seal your interlocking paving stones yourself, it is important to do it correctly to achieve the best possible result. The process involves several steps:
- Surface preparation – First, remove any coarse dirt such as leaves, moss or weeds from between the joints. You can use a high-pressure cleaner or a mechanical brush.
- Deep cleaning – To thoroughly remove grease, stains and other dirt, use a suitable cleaning agent intended for interlocking paving, such as Isokor Facade. Apply it according to the manufacturer’s instructions and leave it to work. Then rinse the surface thoroughly with water.
- Let the tiles dry – Before applying the impregnation, it is important that the tiles are completely dry. Depending on the weather conditions, this can take several hours to a day.
- Application of impregnation – To protect the tiles and enhance their appearance, we recommend using Isokor Wet Effect, which can be found at isokor.sk. This product will give the tiles a wet effect and at the same time protect them from absorbency and dirt.
- Applying the impregnation – Apply the impregnation evenly using a roller, brush or low-pressure sprayer. Make sure to cover the entire surface and do not miss any spots.
- Let the impregnation dry – After application, let the impregnation act for several hours and avoid its contact with water for at least 24 hours.
Properly performed impregnation of interlocking paving stones will not only enhance the color and structure of the paving stones, but also protect them from the penetration of water, oils and other impurities.
