Strip the white polymeric haze, efflorescence, and ground-in installation grime that mute paver color with the Techniseal Paver Restorer. This eco-friendly hardscape cleaner handles the post-install cleanup left behind by polymeric sand and saw-cut slurry — safely. Unlike muriatic acid, it releases very little odor, won’t etch concrete or clay, and rinses clean with water. Works the same way on patios, walkways, driveways, and pool decks made from concrete pavers, concrete slabs, and interlocking units.

Product Code: 60301605 · Available in: 1 Gallon (also available from Techniseal in an 18.93 L pail)

What It Does

• Removes polymeric haze: dissolves the white film left behind after polymeric sand jointing without damaging the paver surface
• Dislodges efflorescence: lifts white mineral salt deposits that bloom as moisture wicks through new concrete
• Lifts ground-in dirt: cuts through atmospheric grime and embedded soil that ordinary pressure-washing can’t budge
• Brightens paver color: restores the saturated showroom color hidden under haze and weathering
• Preps for sealing: opens the paver pore structure so a fresh sealer bonds evenly without blotchy adhesion
• Easy to rinse: washes clean with water — no special solvent cleanup

Why Techniseal Paver Restorer vs Muriatic Acid?

• No etching: won’t pit or burn the paver surface like uncontrolled muriatic acid can
• Low odor: safer for crews and adjacent occupied buildings
• Eco-friendly: safer for surrounding lawns, irrigation lines, and metal post bases
• Predictable result: consistent cleaning across large areas without splotchy lightening

Application

1. Test in an inconspicuous area first to confirm desired results.
2. Pre-wet the surface and surrounding landscaping with clean water.
3. Dilute Paver Restorer per label directions for the haze level you’re working with.
4. Apply with a pump sprayer or watering can, working in 200 sq ft sections.
5. Scrub with a stiff nylon brush. Do not let the product dry on the surface.
6. Rinse thoroughly with low-pressure water until all residue is gone. Re-rinse adjacent vegetation.
7. Allow the surface to dry completely before applying any sealer.

Tips

• Protect adjacent metals, glass, and painted surfaces from overspray
• Pre-wet plants before AND after to dilute any runoff
• Pair with a Techniseal sealer (Color Boost, Wet Look, or Natural Look) for the strongest finished appearance
