If your pavers or decorative concrete appear to be covered in dust, dirt, leaves and grime then they are in need of a general clean over. You can start this by sweeping over the brick pavers using a broom and removing all this excess waste. Once you have done so then you should rinse the surface with a hose.

Proceed to mix some household detergent with warm water into a bucket and apply by brush or broom the mixture onto the surface of the brick pavers. You will need your broom again to sweep it over. As you are doing so you should scrub areas where you see they are stained.

This mild detergent mixture should remove most of the stains.

Then use the hose once again and flush the area thoroughly to ensure that all suds and soap is removed. You can then leave the area to dry. By doing this simple procedure you will keep your brick pavers and decorative concrete looking as good as new.
