No harsh chemicals are needed to clean the spaces between the tiles. But this does not mean that you will have to eliminate the gaps between the bearings while on your knees with a knife. Below are three ways to clean tile crevices without chemicals and without back pain.

When do you need tools to clean the spaces between pavers?

First of all, if there is moss growing between the pavers and it doesn’t bother you, you don’t need to kill it at all, you can leave it that way.

However, if the eye is hungry for weeds, you can’t get away with it – this is considered negligence. It’s time to act.

Wash with high water jet

how to recognize the problem and how to save your lawn

If you have a pressure washer, you can definitely use it to clean the spaces between the bearings as well. This method will be efficient and environmentally friendly, but it has a big drawback: when washing at high current, dirt splashes in all directions. If there is a house, terrace or other structures near the pavers, you can splash the walls with dirt.

Read the article to the end, because I will make such an essential addition.

L-shaped lawnmower

The simplest tool for cleaning spaces between paving stones – “L” shape.os the weeder I have from Gardena. I recommend this tool, rather than a simple mouse, because its shape is better suited to eliminating gaps between paving stones. The outside is sharp.
And the best thing is that we can use it with both the short and long handle «Gardenas Combisystem», so you can do this type of work even while standing. This will prevent back pain.

I use the same Combisystem shafts with other tools, I only change the tips. (Here you can see how many different tooling options you can create with Combisystem shanks and bits)

Cordless block cleaner

Another option is a cordless vacuum cleaner. After trying it the cleaner «EasyWeed» from «Gardena» I can say it deserves every good review.

Its working principle is based on a wheel-shaped wire brush, which rotates to push moss and weeds out of the spaces between the pavers. You will hold it comfortably, you can adjust the position of the handles. It is not necessary to bend down, you work by walking and holding the tool in your hand. You will see for yourself in which direction (forward or backward) the work proceeds most comfortably. This sweeper won’t get rid of large weeds, but it will get the main job done surprisingly quickly.

Essential tips for cleaning spaces between paving stones

It doesn’t matter which method you choose to clean the gaps – water, mechanical or chemical – if you leave the gaps, you will have weeds again in no time! It won’t take long for the wind to lift the debris, soil and seeds, which will grow in no time.

To avoid this, immediately fill the spaces between the pavers with granite chips.

Tip: Carry out the work when it is dry so that the sieves fill the empty spaces well. Cover them and sweep them with a broom or brush.

It is possible that one application of the branches is not enough, so apply and sweep the second, and if necessary, several times. Make sure there are no gaps, so that your work is not in vain and is effective for as long as possible.

Therefore, it is better to choose wipers specially designed for cleaning the gaps between the paving stones, then the work will be not only the most effective, but also the fastest. Don’t forget to spread the clean cracks with straws and you will be able to enjoy the clean cracks of the pavers even longer.
