Maintaining VUBA Resin Surfaces

To keep your VUBA resin-bound surface looking its best—especially in lighter shades where dirt shows more easily—regular cleaning is essential. Power washing is highly effective, but be sure to hold the lance at a 90° angle and maintain a minimum distance of 300mm to protect the surface and prevent aggregate displacement.

Oil, Dirt & Debris

Oil spills from fuel or lubricants can quickly soak into your resin-bound surface, leading to stubborn stains. Act fast—use an absorbent material to clean spills immediately. For tougher marks, apply an emulsifying degreaser designed for resin surfaces. Avoid prolonged use of harsh solvents, and for more challenging stains, get in touch with the experts at VUBA for tailored advice.

Weeds, Moss & Lichen

Although a permeable membrane beneath your resin-bound surface helps reduce weed growth, occasional weeds may still appear and can be easily removed with a jet wash. In shaded or damp areas, moss, algae, or lichen may develop—treat these with manufacturer-approved solutions to keep your surface looking clean and pristine.

Fruit, Berries & Leaves

Organic debris such as fallen leaves or fruit can cause unsightly stains if left on your resin-bound surface. To prevent discolouration, clear debris promptly. For existing stains, use a cleaning solution made from 1.5L of sodium hypochlorite, 4.5L of water, and 100ml of a gentle, non-oxidising shampoo (like baby shampoo). Apply evenly, scrub with a stiff brush, and rinse thoroughly—taking care to protect nearby plants from runoff.

Rust & Tyre Marks

Rust stains can occasionally occur on resin-bound surfaces due to metal furniture, BBQs, or naturally present pyrite within the aggregates. While rare, moisture can activate pyrite, leading to rust marks. To treat these, apply a non-acidic rust remover as recommended by the manufacturer. Tyre marks, on the other hand, are usually easy to remove with steam cleaning or by scrubbing with hot water and a mild detergent.
