Paver Cleaning
Rejuvenate your property with the expert team from Industrial Clean SA in Adelaide.
Bricks and pavers can be notoriously difficult to clean, and domestic pressure cleaners are often not powerful enough to remove surface staining and soiling. More importantly, any pressure washer or pressure cleaning machine in non-expert hands can cause a lot of damage to the surface, potentially removing mortar from between bricks, disrupting the supporting base under pavers, leaving ugly “stripes” in the surface, and potentially causing irreversible damage to the bricks and pavers themselves.
Industrial Clean SA can restore your stained and dirty bricks, pavers and paved surfaces, making them look like new. Our team of experts have a longstanding reputation of excellence for pressure cleaning all types of pavers and paved surfaces throughout Adelaide including brick, clay, concrete, and natural stone pavers.
Whether your pavers are in a public area such as shopping centres, malls, theatres, parks, recreational areas, in government paths and walkways, or in paths and entertainment areas surrounding your home, the experts at Industrial Clean SA will offer you amazing results that will completely transform your outdoor areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of pressure cleaning?
Our machines use high pressure water cleaning (up to 5,000 psi) to remove contaminants such as grease, grime, dirt, dust, mould, plant matter and paint from surfaces and objects such as building exteriors, tanks, vehicles, floors and concrete surfaces. Pressure washing is a highly effective and efficient cleaning method that is cost effective and environmentally friendly.
Do you use hot or cold water for pressure washing?
Our specialised equipment can use both hot and cold water for pressure cleaning. This allows us the flexibility to assess each job and determine whether hot or cold water will provide the best results for your particular requirement. Our industrial grade equipment can achieve very high water temperatures which, when used in combination with high water pressures, means we are able to remove or minimise stubborn stains such as grease and oil while reducing our reliance on harsh chemicals. We also use hot water pressure cleaning to quickly and efficiently remove unsightly and unsanitary dirt, grease, grime, mould, moss, mildew and to decontaminate food preparation areas and cold rooms.
What factors can impact the success of removing stains?
The age and size of the stain and the type of substance that caused the stain will determine how difficult it is to remove. We assess the approach needed to deliver the most effective and efficient results every time. When dealing with oil stains, it is crucial to remove as much of the stain as possible before your concrete or paver surface is sealed or resurfaced. If the oil is not removed, it will eventually seep back through to the substrate to re-stain your driveway, path, or garage or shed floor.
Do you use chemicals?
Sometimes. For stubborn soiling and to deeply penetrate embedded stains without damaging the surface we use environmentally responsible detergents and specialised cleaning agents that will not jeopardise the health and safety of your clients, family or pets.
Are your pressure cleaning methods environmentally friendly?
Yes. We use environmentally sustainable methods for all our cleaning processes and adhere to environmental government regulations.
Will the water used in pressure cleaning damage my lawn or plants?
We take the utmost care to minimise any impact on your garden and surrounding areas. However, we would advise you to move or cover any sensitive plants as a precaution prior to pressure cleaning.
Is pressure cleaning safe for all types of surfaces?
While pressure cleaning is incredibly versatile and safe when carried out by experts – not all surfaces are suitable. Our highly trained team assess each surface composition, age and condition before choosing a targeted cleaning method to ensure a safe, efficient and cost-effective cleaning solution. Before we start any pressure cleaning job, we explain our method and expected outcomes to you to make sure you’re happy with our chosen methodology, along with any risks we have identified. We will often patch test a cleaning method to ensure optimal outcomes, and if we believe the risk of damage is too high, we will advise you against pressure cleaning that particular surface.
Do you use soft washing techniques?
Yes, if we determine that soft washing will provide superior results over pressure washing for a particular cleaning job. Soft washing can be a useful alternative to pressure cleaning for high buildings and surfaces that may be susceptible to damage from pressure cleaning. Soft washing uses low pressure water (1000psi or lower) in combination with biodegradable chemicals. This removes the biological elements (for example pollen, mould, algae, dirt, lichen, moss) and other stains without damaging surfaces or killing your plants or hurting any nearby animals.

What areas in Adelaide do you service?
We offer our pressure cleaning services and other specialised cleaning methodologies in all suburbs of Adelaide. Depending on the size of the job, we sometimes travel as far as 3 hours from the Adelaide CBD for clients who are not able to find a specialised industrial or commercial cleaner in their local area.
Do you provide free quotes?
Yes. Our quotes and free and with no obligation to book our services. Sometimes we can provide a quote based on a phone conversation and photos. However, to provide a detailed and accurate quote, we prefer to do a site visit and walk through the job with you to ensure you are completely happy with the methods we propose, the expectations around price, and the predicted outcomes. We will then send you a quote via email.
How much do your services cost?
Every job is different depending on its size and scope. However, we do have a minimum four (4) hour fee for all jobs. Rather than posting generic prices on our website, we prefer to meet with you to inspect the job requirements, and to discuss the work with you to make sure we understand exactly what your cleaning needs and preferences are and to explain the outcomes you can expect.
How do we pay you?
We will send an invoice to your email address upon completion of the job. All payments need to be made via EFT bank transfer by the due date using the banking details on the invoice.
What facilities will I need if I book your services?
You will need to provide:
- A space to park our equipment
- Clear access to the space/item that requires cleaning
- A water source with an adequate flow such as an outside tap
How long does pressure cleaning take?
This depends on the size of the area to be pressure cleaned, the extent and type of soiling, ease of access, and the condition of the areas to be cleaned. Typically, the time taken ranges from around four hours to a full day or more.
Do I need to be home or at the business site while the pressure cleaning is done?
You do not need to be present at the time of cleaning, however we will need easy access to the areas being cleaned – along with a water supply, for example a garden tap. If you are comfortable to leave us with the access we need to complete your pressure cleaning job, you can be assured that we will leave your property or business in a secure condition when we leave.
Will our business be disrupted by your pressure cleaning processes?
We strive to minimise any disruption by scheduling our services at your convenience and by working during off-peak or off-production times to ensure your business continues to operate smoothly.
Do you offer chewing gum removal?
Yes. Chewing gum litter and residue is a particularly unsightly problem and is notoriously difficult and time consuming to remove. Our high-tech pressure cleaning equipment can reach temperatures in excess of 85°C, literally melting the gum and significantly reducing the cleaning time that would be required by less effective equipment, and ensuring that chewing gum removal is as cost-effective as possible. You can watch a video of our chewing gum removal process here.
We have pigeons / other birds nesting in or on our roof space, under our solar panels, under the eaves of our building, or in some other hard to reach area. Can you get rid of the bird waste, clean and sanitise the area, and make sure the pigeons don’t come back?
Yes. We can quickly and safely remove bird poo and waste build-up and dispose of this waste in a safe and environmentally responsible manner. We can also clean and decontaminate the affected areas to eliminate staining and enhance safety and hygiene for you, your workers, and members of the public who may utilise the affected areas. Prior to the clean, we work collaboratively with expert pest controllers to remove the birds, and once the clean is finished they can net the area to prevent the birds returning and re-soiling the area / space.
Do you offer interior cleaning such as office cleaning, toilet cleaning, carpet cleaning etc?
Our main focus and area of expertise is industrial cleaning – for example factories, warehouses and carparks, as well as commercial and residential exteriors such as building façade cleans, paver and concrete cleaning, and carpark cleans. We do however provide office cleaning when it is part of a warehouse or factory clean.
Do you offer window cleaning?
Not generally, although we sometime offer this service as part of a large building exterior clean, or to regular or existing clients.
Is industrial pressure cleaning and commercial pressure cleaning different to residential pressure cleaning?
Yes. Industrial and commercial cleaning often involves much larger areas, tougher stains, and more complex cleaning methodologies. Our custom-built pressure washing equipment is superior to the pressure cleaners you can buy at retail stores. Although we offer cleaning services primarily to industrial and commercial sectors, we also offer residential cleans, often with superior results than you would get from some residential pressure cleaners.
