Product Information
Full details
StoneCare4U Driveway Cleaner is designed for homeowners seeking a powerful, yet safe, solution for restoring the appearance of external natural stone driveways and other outdoor stone and masonry surfaces. Its key benefit is effectively removing aged dirt, grime, algae, lichen, and black spots without etching the stone, thanks to its alkaline-based formula. A key consideration is its chlorine-based active ingredient, which requires careful application to avoid staining fabrics, sensitive materials, and tarmac.

FAQs
Can StoneCare4U Driveway Cleaner be used on artificial stone or concrete?
The product is specifically formulated for natural stone and masonry. While it may have some effect on other surfaces, it is best suited and tested for natural stone driveways and outdoor stone/masonry.
How long should I leave the cleaner on the surface?
We recommend allowing the cleaner to dwell for about 2-4 hours. If the surface starts to dry out, lightly re-apply water.
What should I do if the cleaner contacts my clothing?
Rinse the affected clothing immediately with plenty of water. Due to the active ingredients, permanent staining may occur if not treated quickly.
Will this cleaner kill existing weeds and prevent new ones?
Yes, the cleaner contains a biocide that helps eliminate organic matter such as weeds and moss between slabs/blocks, and helps prevent their regrowth.
Is it safe to use on stone that has a sealant applied?
It is advisable to test on a small, hidden area first, as strong cleaners can potentially affect existing sealants. A patch test will determine compatibility.
How should I dispose of leftover cleaner?
Dispose of waste and residues in accordance with local regulations. Do not empty into drains or watercourses.
Can I use a regular garden hose to rinse instead of a pressure washer?
Yes, a garden hose can be used for rinsing. However, for best results in dislodging embedded dirt and grime, vigorous brushing and/or a pressure washer is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Cleaner not removing stains effectively
Ensure the product has had sufficient dwell time (2-4 hours). Re-apply water lightly if the surface dried out. For heavily soiled areas, a second application or more vigorous scrubbing/pressure washing may be required.
Staining on surrounding materials (fabrics, tarmac)
Protect all sensitive materials and tarmac areas before application using protective sheeting. Immediately rinse any accidental contact with large amounts of water.
Slight lightening of the stone surface
This is a noted possibility. Always perform a patch test in an inconspicuous area before full application to assess the effect on your specific stone type.
Product seems to be drying too quickly
Lightly re-apply water to the surface during the dwell time to keep the cleaner active and working effectively.
