Using a high pressure wand can actually etch your pavers or undermine the bedding sand. A rotary washer reduces the impact and cleans pavers without compromising your pavers and foundation.

For oil and grease stains use Techniseal Professional Grade Oil & Grease. Apply a generous amount to the stain and let it sit for a few hours. Once it has dried, sweep away any remaining debris with a broom.
