How to Clean a Resin Bound Stone Surface?

A resin bound driveway or pathway is not only stunning and highly durable, but it’s also incredibly easy to maintain. Unlike traditional surfaces such as concrete, tarmac, or block paving, which often require harsh chemicals and labor-intensive scrubbing, a resin bound stone surface stays looking fresh with minimal effort.

With a few simple cleaning steps, your driveway will retain its pristine appearance for many years to come, maintaining its vibrant color and smooth finish.

Why Resin Bound Surfaces Are Easier to Maintain

✔ Resists Staining – The resin coating repels oil, dirt, and organic debris, making stains easy to wash away.
✔ No Loose Stones – Unlike block paving or gravel driveways, there’s no need to sweep up displaced stones.
✔ Weed-Free Surface – The smooth, seamless finish means weeds struggle to take root, eliminating the need for regular weeding.
✔ Highly Permeable – The SUDS-compliant design allows water to drain naturally, preventing puddles and moss buildup.

How to Clean Your Resin Bound Driveway

1. Regular Maintenance – Keep It Looking Fresh

To keep your driveway in top condition, we recommend:

🔹 Brushing – A stiff broom or leaf blower can remove leaves, dirt, and debris before they settle.
🔹 Jet Washing – A low-pressure jet wash (below 150 bar) is perfect for lifting dirt without damaging the surface.
🔹 Soapy Water & Light Scrubbing – For stubborn dirt, use a mild detergent with warm water and a soft brush to gently clean the surface.

✅ Frequency: Cleaning every few months will keep your driveway looking immaculate year-round.

2. Removing Stubborn Stains & Marks

Although resin bound surfaces are highly resistant to stains, occasional spills can occur. Here’s how to tackle common marks:

🛢️ Oil Stains: Use a mild degreaser or diluted washing-up liquid and scrub gently.
☕ Drinks & Food Spills: Rinse immediately with soapy water to prevent discoloration.
🌿 Moss & Algae: Apply a diluted moss-killer solution (biodegradable) and rinse with water after 24 hours.

Avoid: Using harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive brushes, as they may degrade the resin over time.

3. Preventative Measures – Keep It Pristine for Longer

🔹 Clear Debris Promptly – Remove leaves and organic matter to prevent staining and algae growth.
🔹 Avoid Heavy Impact – While resin is tough, dropping heavy objects or using metal shovels in winter can cause damage.
🔹 Use Car Mats for Oil-Prone Areas – If your car leaks oil, consider using a small protective mat where you park.
