Default BRICK CLEANING

HELP!!!...the vinyl shudders(reddish color) on our house (which have been on
for about 12 yrs), have started to fade and the color (red ) is starting to
run onto our bricks, which are a beige color..does anyone know why this
would happen & how can I get the red color off the bricks without damaging
the original color of them..Thanks..JOHN

I don't really think that your vinyl beige shutters are bleeding
red.

What type of fasteners are holding the shutters that have begun to
rust?

CLR might help reduce the rust stains.

Is it red brick or glazed brick. Red brick has color red all the way thru
so any change in color would be temporary. You probably are seeing rust
from bad hardware holding up shutter.
