How to Clean Granite Chippings: A Step-by-Step Guide

Granite chippings are a popular choice for landscaping and gardening projects. Their durability, low maintenance, and natural beauty make them a great option for paths, driveways, and decorative features.  Although granite chippings tend to remain looking great for most of their lifecycle and often don’t need much TLC, after enough time nature may take its toll. So, is it time to renew and buy more? Not necessarily. In this blog post, we will provide some tips on how to clean granite chippings and introduce two of our different products 20mm silver granite chippings and 10mm pink granite chippings. 

Follow these simple steps to clean your granite chippings: 

  1. Remove any large debris or fallen leaves from the surface of the chippings using a rake or a broom. 
  2. Use a pressure washer or a garden hose to rinse the chippings with water. This will help to remove any loose dirt or debris.
  3. For stubborn stains or dirt, you can use a mild detergent and a soft-bristled brush to scrub the affected area. Be sure to use a detergent that is safe for outdoor use and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
  4. Once the cleaning is done, rinse the chippings again with water to remove any remaining soap or detergent.
