Caulk removal
 
I have to remove a sunroom built onto my house. My only problem is how
can I remove latex or silicon caulking off the exterior brick so that
it leaves non or very little trace?

They sell caulk softener at HD.

IMHO: Reality check. Brick is very porous, meaning some caulk will
remain. So if it was caulked once, you might want to cauk again.

Funny, I get the opposite reaction. Whiskey seems to add rigidity to my
caulk.
