To explore the best clogging restoration measures for ceramic permeable bricks, ceramic permeable bricks were accurately clogged using a self-designed device by controlling the permeability, and different technical measures were adopted to restore the permeability. Then, the recovery effect, operating parameters and pore change inside the bricks using pressure washing were further discussed. The results showed that pressure washing was the best recovery measure, the joint methods was not recommended due to performance to price ratio. It was necessary to conduct pressure washing in relatively moist conditions, increase the cleaning frequency or prolong the cleaning time in the case of no serious blockage. Hydraulic cleaning can not only increase isolated pores but also remove the trapped solid particles, and increase the proportion of connected pores and dredges through water channels. This research offers some reference for the daily maintenance of permeable bricks.
