708198 2008-09-27 07:00:00 30 seconds is just a bleach concentrate that just costs more, neat bleach will do the same thing. If you do use 30 seconds wear gloves etc as it can burn the skin gary67 (56)

If you do use 30 seconds wear gloves etc as it can burn the skinIt would probably take the colour out of the pavers also. The area isn't very big so I will have to give it some more thought. Thanks for the tip. Pato (2463)

Some of the cheaper concrete ones just have the top 10mm or so coloured. These ones tend to be the smooth type of paver.

The Firth "Flagstone" range are coloured all the way through,and have a rougher surface.

60 seconds - I'm still waiting for days for the discolouration to go :)

I tried 30 seconds and it didn't work very well at all and I didn't want high concentrations of the stuff. I would recommend a water blaster (as per Jen) and start out with not too much pressure.
