Default cleaning sulfuric acid stains from brick pavers

Have a golf cart business that leaves sulfuric acid stains on brick

the color of rust. Customers are complaining about the stains on
their pavers. Any solution to remove these stains would be
appreciated.


Acid is used to intentionally do "acid staining" of concrete to change the
color of the concrete. So, I doubt that anything will "reverse" the stains
that you are causing on people's concrete or brick pavers.

I like the ideas that others suggested of using a "paver puller" to remove
the damaged pavers and either replace them or flip them over etc. Or, maybe
switch them out with other pavers that are in a non-visible location.

Obviously, something needs to be put down under where the work is being done
so no acid or anything else drips down and damages the surface of whatever
is underneath. That would be true for any type of on-sight vehicle repair
service.
